Movie Info

This was the last trip in the "road" comedies that Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and a bevy of female stars that featured Dorothy Lamour once made famous. In this road to Hong Kong and parts far beyond, Chester and Harry (Hope and Crosby) are a couple of failed vaudeville stars looking for a way to riches in the confidence game. Chester's memory goes kaputz, and the two end up involved with Diane (Joan Collins), a spy looking for a secret formula, and a bunch of hoodlums who plan on sending up a rocket

Forced gags, and Hope & Crosby creak along in the last Road picture.

Occasionally bright attempt at recapturing the old 'Road' pictures doesn't quite make it

This movie is the worst of the Road series, I don't know why they decided to make another one in the sixties, they were getting old and the writer doesn't know what's funny anymore. The story is stupid and doesn't make much sense towards the end either.

"Dual Carburetors!"The last of the "Road" films feels almost as viable as the first. Credit Mr. Hope and a cast that includes Dorothy Lamour, Joan Collins, Dean Martin, David Niven, Peter Sellers, Frank Sinatra and Robert Morley.
