Road to Hong Kong (Blu-ray)

Bob Hope and Bing Crosby take off on The Road to Hong Kong, the seventh and final Road movie from the irresistibly charming and wacky duo. Cavorting through a series of madcap adventures with Joan Collins, Robert Morley and Road queen Dorothy Lamour—as well as scene-stealers Peter Sellers, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Pat O’Brien and David Niven—Crosby and Hope dish out a “fricassee of jokes and gags” (Los Angeles Times) in what may be the wildest entry in their legendary film series from Singapore to Bali. Vaudevillians Harry (Crosby) and Chester (Hope) travel to Tibet to search for a drug to restore Chester’s memory. Once they find the cure, Chester’s memory becomes so good that he accidentally memorizes a secret formula for space navigation. Soon the two meet up with a beautiful spy (Collins) and get slightly sidetracked…to another planet! From fabulous filmmakers Norman Panama and Melvin Frank (Road to Utopia, White Christmas, The Court Jester).
