CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

rodrig58 Bob Hope was and remains a phenomenon! And that, not only because he lived a biblical age, 100 years, but because he was a great comic actor, full of charm. Bing Crosby, a warm, pleasant voice, but not such a great actor. Here we have a very young Joan Collins, who looks like a candy, a Robert Morley, who, as usual, looks like a huge potato, a Walter Gotell, training for the upcoming roles in the original Bond series, an older Dorothy Lamour and, in episodic roles, some great names like Dean Martin, David Niven, Frank Sinatra. The best moment in the whole movie, in fact, an absolutely exceptional scene, also in an episodic role, makes the unparalleled, the greatest comic actor of all time, Peter Sellers (probably, training for "The Party").

Bruce Corneil After a break of ten years, this was to be the last entry into the long -running and extremely popular cycle of "Road" movies. Hope and Crosby were in their late fifties by the time this one came along and they were obviously due to retire from their familiar, high energy roles as roustabout con men / adventurers. But, even though they may have been slowing down just a touch, the generally snappy pace and witty banter of earlier outings remained intact.This quirky offering was made in England on a seemingly low budget. Shot in black and white, it must have been a visual disappointment for audiences after the color escapades of its immediate predecessor - 1952's "Road to Bali". As usual, there's a couple of good songs, the best of which, "Team Work", opens the picture.The supporting cast is excellent and the cameo appearances by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin just before the curtain falls was a nice touch.Despite it's somewhat bargain basement look, it still manages to provide a fun finale to the series

SanteeFats This was the last of the Bob Hope and Bing Crosby "Road" pictures and the least of the seven in my opinion. Joan Collins is in this movie, why?, she is not a good actress and I don't think she is all that attractive. She is definitely not a sex symbol as far as I am concerned. While Dorothy Lamour was in all seven movies she basically has a cameo in this one. I thought she deserved a much bigger and better role. Robert Morley plays the cult's leader and is, as usually, very campy and over acts. He got a lot of roles and I still do not really understand why. Bob and Bing seem to be mailing it in at certain points in the movie, it seems that they understood that this was the last one of the movies they would do together. The special effects are really bad and the space scenes are especially bad.

writers_reign As swan songs go this could have used a decent cygneture tune. The best bit is right at the beginning when, continuing the tradition, Bing and Bob are seen as vaudevillians singing, dancing and pattering their way through 'Teamwork', with a lyric from Sammy Cahn, who had replaced Johnny Burke as Jimmy Van Heusen's permanent partner roughly a decade earlier. Plots were never a strong point in the franchise and this is, if anything, worse than most and for some unknown reason Peter Sellars is given several minutes in which to be wincingly embarrassing and utter some of the worst lines in the script. They also jettisoned Lamour as sex object but wisely allowed her a cameo appearance plus a ballad; her replacement, Joan Collins, failed to register and the best one can say about this product of the famous Rank 'Charm' School is that she clearly flunked charm. Following the opening vaudeville routine the plot continues in the way of the rest of the franchise with Bing conning Bob - here given Jimmy Van Heusen's real name, Chester Babcock, as an 'inside' joke - into the usual life-threatening stunts and for good measure we even get a laundry list of previous near-misses including the squid, human cannonball, etc but then it runs out of steam and quickly spirals into complete preposterousness. The banter is still intact albeit a little frayed around the edges but they could have signed off with something a little better than this.
