Movie Reviews of Road to BaliMovie Review: The Boys Are Back Summary: 5 Stars
This road picture is filled with a lot of laughs, and the boys are back in good form. The previous road picture, "The Road To Rio" was terrible (for some reason), but this one sees Bing and Bob having fun again.
The boys are older here (about 51) and it is more obvious with Bing. And, for the first time, Bob seems to have the upper hand (in that competition of theirs) as he throws some pretty good zingers at Bing.
The pace of this road picture is pretty good ... and things really get rolling once they (Bob, Bing, and Dottie) are on the boat, ready to send Bob down into the water. The funny lines come one after another (and the quality is pretty high), and it doesn't stop ... until they are captured by the natives ... and then it gets pretty dull, but that is near the end anyway.
My rating list of all seven road pictures goes like this:
1. Utopia
2. Zanzibar
3. Bali
4. Singapore
5. Morocco
6. Hong Kong
7. Rio
But there is a lot of fun to be had watching the first five. I'm glad we have them.
Summary of Road to BaliBob Hope Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour team up in their sixth "Road" picture Road to Bali which was the only film in the series to be shot in color. Hope and Crosby star as two out-of-work vaudeville performers who are on the lam. The two are hired by a South Seas prince as deep-sea divers in order to recover a buried treasure. They meet beautiful Princess Lala (Lamour) and vie for her affections. Of course the boys run into the usual perils such as cannibals a giant squid and numerous cameos from some of Hollywood's biggest stars. Director Hal Walker was no stranger to the three actor having directed the trio in Road to Utopia. The final "Road" picture Road to Hong Kong would be released 10 years later with Lamour making a brief cameo appearance.System Requirements:Starring: Bob Hope Bing Crosby Dorothy Lamour with Dean Martin Jane Russell and Murvyn Vye.
