5.0 out of 5 stars On the Road with Hope&Crosby, April 17, 2003
By 
Randy (Riverside, CT United States) - See all my reviews
As Bob Hope reaches his 100th birthday Universal Studio's video unit will release 12 of his classic films on DVD. Among them this boxed set of classic "Road pictures. The set includes in release order, The Road to Singapore, The Road to Zanzibar, The Road to Morocco and The Road to Utopia. The Road to Singapore the first outing for Bob & Bing and Dorothy (Dorothy Lamour)was originally intended as a vehicle for George Burns and Gracie Allen. It was apparent from the beginning that three had an immediate chemistry with each other and their intended audiences. Although the classic Road formula had not been quite jelled in this early outing there are still plenty of ad-Libs, gags and fun for every fan. The Road to Zanzibar is next it includes one of the most politically incorrect patty-cake routines involving an African Tribe ever put on film. Thank goodness for political incorrectness because political correctness is the death of comedy. You'll laugh till you hurt. Then comes The Road to Morocco considered by most to be the beginning of the true Road formula pictures, includes the now classic "Moonlight Becomes You" sung by Bing and incredible interplay and ad-libing with Bob&Bing. It's a miracle Dorothy was able to get a word in edgewise. Look for an Arab character played by Anthony Quinn. Rumor has it that when this picture was made the writer was sitting in on some of the filming, during a scene Bob flippently said to the writer, "Call us if you hear one of your lines." This movie is a gem and worthy of any film collection. It is loaded with inside movie industry jokes aimed at Paramount Pictures and of course a there are a couple of talking Camels. The Road to Utopia is an Alaskan adventure with the trio caught up in a gold mine scheme. The departure for this picture is it has an intrusive narration by the famed humorist Robert Benchley. Robert Benchley's intrusions are often insulting but they do capture the irony of the situations he describes. It's sort of like a Road Picture's visual "Road Pictures for Dummies". Great music including Bob & Bing's duet on "Put It There Pal", talking fish and histerical banter. This entire collection gets not only my thumb up but all the other fingers as well!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bob Hope-The Road Collection Box set, March 5, 2002

If you love the Hope/Crosby/Lamour road series, this new DVD box set of four of the best movies is a must. The prints are great, the packaging and extra features on the DVD's really nice. My only complaint is I wish they had also included Road to Rio & Bali in this set to make it the complete road series. Oh well, enjoy this fine DVD set!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Missing Roads, April 29, 2003
Just for all the moaning minnies out there, there's a very simple answer to the question of the Road movies missing from this set.

The set comprises of all the Road movies produced by PARAMOUNT pictures - the others were produced by different studios, so couldn't be included. Nothing to do with good or bad sense, all down to rights.

Don't get too down hearted, they're all widely available anyway!
