ROAD TO BALI(1952)
The boys get into trouble when they agree to
help a prince when he asks for deep sea divers
to help him dive for treasure! They meet Dorothy,
the prince's cousin, and of course they both
fall for her! Later on they wind up having to
rescue her and her kingdom!! Sadly this has
some really poor acting in it! Ansara and
Lamore both seem quite wooden! Of course
it may be just how they were being directed
to act! All things being equal, this is still
Hope and Crosby(along with Lamore, Martin &
Lewis & others)! Definitely one of the better
films in the set!! B+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
From the very first Road picture Hope and Crosby
were known for their ad-libbing. In fact when
they guested on each other's shows the two of
them would take the script and insert some of
their own lines to try and catch the other
off-guard.
In this Road picture I will swear that the
moment the boys and Dotty Lamour were washed
ashore on the proverbial south sea island,
the picture is one long ad-lib. I am sure
the director said, here's the plot situation
just make it up as you go. It's got that
kind of spontaneity.
Look for 'guest' appearances by Jane Russell,
Humphrey Bogart, Martin and Lewis and Bob
Crosby in this wacky romp.
Says Dotty: "I love you Bob, I love you Bing,
my heart's in a real wing ding." So do we
all. - bkoganbing
