Movie Reviews of The Road to Hong Kong
Movie Review: The lives of their time
Summary: 5 Stars
In some measure, and regardless of subject matter, every motion picture is a product of its time. The character of contemporary society creeps
in to script and inform the action on screen, shaping visual and verbal language. Possibly overlooked by viewers of the "Road" pictures is the fact that each, in a reel and a real sense, was a parody of itself, and in turn, of the preceding films. They were a gentle jab at an industry prone to take itself too seriously. Revelling in their ability to glib and adlib their way from start to finish, Crosby and Hope always put on
a real-time performance, a passing glimpse at what they and their world were at that moment. Amid the gems of repartee, some unseemly slurs at
misunderstood and maligned members of society emerge. Not funny.
For what it's worth, there is one scene in "The Road to Hong Kong" that exhibits that classic comedic timing that left audiences rolling in the aisles. A rollicking ride into space, strapped into seats designed for chimpanzees. Use your imagination. Crosby and Hope did.
