Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Road to... refers to a series of seven comedy films starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour. They are also often referred to as the "Road" pictures or the "Road" series. The movies were a combination of adventure, comedy, romance, and music. The minimal plot often took a back seat to gags, many of them ad-libbed by Crosby and Hope during filming. Beginning with The Road to Morocco the films also included in-joke references to other Hollywood actors and jabs at Paramount Pictures, the studio that released all the films except for The Road to Hong Kong. There are also frequent instances where Bob Hope breaks the "fourth wall" to address the audience directly, such as in the Road to Bali where he says "[Crosby]''s gonna sing, folks. Now''s the time to go out and get the popcorn." Bob and Bing would usually play some form of con-artists trying to make a lot of money, with Bing coming up with the ideas and Bob usually doing the dirty work.
