Not Captivating.......2007-04-08
I was predisposed to like this film, but was disappointed in the weakness of the plot and the hackneyed one-line put downs constantly exchanged between the two protangonists. It starts with the two vaudeville stars doing their routine on stage, while in the wings a girl is waiting with her dad for a "shotgun" style wedding for either of the two. They escape, leaving Australia looking for any kind of available employment. It turns out deep sea diving is the sole remaining option.
Princess Lala, who is half Scottish becomes the romantic target of both suitors. The indingenous people arrange a marriage ceremony whereby both men are going to marry her, although neither realize they are sharing a bride. This plan is destroyed by another authority on the island who wants to make her his latest bride to add to his collection. It's at this point that the plot breaks down and it seems they wanted to just end the script in the alloted time.
Cameo appearances by well-known movie stars of the era are interspersed. If you don't watch carefully you'll miss them however. The most creative part is the conclusion.
Road to Bali.......2007-03-16
Got it very fast and it is a great movie. Of course with old Blue eyes and Bob Hope. It had to be.
Forgettable.......2007-02-12
The plot was OK, but the songs were forgettable--almost painful--and the dancing was amateurish. I found myself fast forwarding through a lot. However, the comedic exchanges between Bing and Bob were fun.
Slapstick with a Setting Reminiscent of Gilligan's Island.......2007-01-17
Two comedians entertain us. While traveling, one sleeps below the train (risky!). When playing on bagpipes and in Scottish suits, they kick each other. There are other humorous scenes throughout this flick.
They land on a tropical island somewhere in the southern Pacific Ocean. Each one assumes that he will be the one to marry Princess Lalah. And, similar to the characters in Gilligan's Island, they have to deal with such things as wild beasts (in this case, the affections of a gorilla), natives and their poison darts, an angry volcano, and the imminent prospect of being beheaded. So who actually gets to marry Princess Lalah? I will not spoil the ending by revealing it.

The Only Color Road Movie.......2005-06-09
The ROAD TO BALI was technically the last of Hope and Crosby's Paramount Road movies. Though THE ROAD TO HONG KONG followed almost ten years later, ROAD TO BALI is the last film to capture the chemistry between Hope and Crosby.
In the early 1950s, Bob Hope was a very bankable Hollywood star. His successful color motion pictures, such as THE PALEFACE and SON OF PALEFACE, led to his reteaming with Bing Crosby for another Road picture. The Road movies reached their peak with ROAD TO MOROCCO, though ROAD TO UTOPIA was also a lot of fun. The boys reteamed for ROAD TO RIO, but the story became lost in what clearly could have been a movie scripted for Bob Hope alone.
In BALI we once again we find Hope and Crosby trying to make ends meet by remote vaudeville appearances. Both escape an Australian shotgun wedding and find themselves employed as part of a deep sea diving crew for a wealthy group of Indonesians. Along the way they meet Dorothy Lamour and escape from the bad guys in typical Hope and Crosby fashion.
ROAD TO BALI is unique in that it was the only Road picture to be photographed in color. By 1952, Bob Hope movies were chock full of special effects. This carried over into ROAD TO BALI complete with jungles, aquatic leviathans, magic acts, and volcanic eruptions. Crosby had a much stronger role in BALI than he did in RIO, but you can easily imagine Bob Hope and Jane Russell filling the lead roles in another PALEFACE sequel. In fact, the final scene of the movie -- complete with cameo appearance by Jane Russell -- is a direct reference to SON OF PALEFACE.
BALI's storyline is a little weak, but you don't watch a Hope and Crosby movie for Shakespeare. There are several cameo appearances in this film. Also look for Leon Askin, who 13 years later would play General Burkhalter in the television series HOGAN'S HEROES.
There are numerous outlets issuing legitimate copies of the ROAD TO BALI. That is why there are several different listings -- and different DVD covers -- for the DVD. The DVD copy is very affordable and the quality is good. In a previous VHS version of this movie, the sound was awful and sounded as if the soundtrack was played through an aluminum can. The DVD release is an improvement. Still, the picture could have been sharper. When compared to the crisp black and white re-release of ROAD TO MOROCCO, ROAD TO BALI is lacking digital restoration. The image is intact, but the picture could be sharper and color more vivid. Paramount or Universal (Universal re-released the earlier Road pictures) need to regain control of the rights to BALI and complete some digital remastering.
However, until the film is completely remastered, this DVD is a good substitute.
Hope when he was good!.......2003-06-28
It's a shame that we don't get to see much of Bob Hope's earlier movies on free TV or cable, because they're 99% of the reason the man is so venerated today! For some reason, after 1963, Hope couldn't make a genuinely funny movie to save his life. I guess he just wasn't hungry anymore. The first REAL dog was "I'll Take Sweden", a travesty he did with Frankie Avalon and Tuesday Weld. The wisecracking machine had wound down, and the jokes were lame, but here, in one of his legendary "Road" movies with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour, he was in full fetter, tossing them off like M-80s along with Crosby, who still manages to surprise me with how adept HE is with one-liners in these movies.
The plot involves H & C playing two vaudevillians in Melbourne, Australia who have both proposed to the same girl, hence starting a chase that has them hopping a train to nowhere, where they find jobs as deep sea divers that take them to the south seas where they meet Lamour through her villainous cousin who hires them. The usual rivalry for her affections ensues and then a whole farce involving treasure, forced marriage and animals develops. There are guest appearances by Humphrey Bogart and Martin and Lewis in this little gem, along with Jane Russell and it's all done to a comic turn. Hope is in great form here and the production itself pretty much follows his lead. The in jokes, like they do in MOST of Hope's better movies, never stop!
During this period, (the late forties and early fifties,) Paramount and Columbia were THE houses for comedies and farces, and the series of Bob Hope movies were definitely among Paramount's best!
You can't go wrong getting this gem along with the other "Road" and pre-"Call Me Bwana" Bob Hope movies...
Now to find "Casanova's Big Night"! (g)

Customer Reviews:
bobfan.......2004-02-27
This collection is worth the purchase price if you do not already own "Road to Bali". Bob fans will also find value in the segments from 50's TV shows in which Bob guest starred on the Jack Benny show and on the Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra show. There is also a segment in which Bob guest stars on the Bobby Darin show. Other material includes segments recorded (in a studio) in front of serving military personnel from the 40's and 50's of sketches, dancing and singing from Bob and his guests. The sketches are lampoons of military life and are great vehicles for Bob's wit and physical timing.
Unfortunately much of the material in this collection is of "less than perfect" video and audio reproduction with little effort in cleaning up the original source sound and vision evident.
This is most notable on the copy of "My Favourite Brunette" which is nearly inaudible and very washed-out visually. This is a classic early Bob film so don't buy this set if all you are after is this film. There are other productions of "My Favourite Brunette" available from other publishers.

Description
SHOW #1: ROAD TO BALI The only color film in the 'Road' series, it starts off in Australia, with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby performing a song and dance act. It's not long before they are on the lam, fleeing to Bali, where they encounter Princess Dorothy Lamour. Complications ensue, finding Bob battling a giant octopus, while Bing gets entwined in the arms of Dorothy. Inside jokes, add-libs, awful puns and delightful musical numbers highlight this rollicking movie, featuring a surprise cameo by Jane Russell. For fans of Bing, Bob and Dottie, and all who love comedy at its best. Approx: 90 min.
SHOW #2: ON THE ROAD WITH BOB AND BING Comedian Bob Hope and crooner Bing Crosby first met on a radio show, and quickly became fast friends. Legend has it that at a golf game the two were having so much fun constantly wisecracking that they decided to make a movie together. A script was found, (originally tailored for George Burns and Gracie Allen!), and singer-actress Dorothy Lamour was cast as the love interest Bing and Bob would fight over. Originally, a one shot deal, The Road to Singapore proved a big money maker for Paramount Studios, and a sequel soon followed, soon turning into a series of some of the funniest movies ever made. For Lamour, who caught the public's fancy as an exotic beauty wearing her trademark sarong in movies such as The Hurricane, the 'Road' series became a popular venue for her to show off her singing and comic skills. Lamour proved a perfect foil for the boys as they competed for the sultry beauty's affections. Here are Bob and Bing on the 'Road' together, featuring the original theatrical trailers. Approx. 15 min.

Not Captivating.......2007-04-08
I was predisposed to like this film, but was disappointed in the weakness of the plot and the hackneyed one-line put downs constantly exchanged between the two protangonists. It starts with the two vaudeville stars doing their routine on stage, while in the wings a girl is waiting with her dad for a "shotgun" style wedding for either of the two. They escape, leaving Australia looking for any kind of available employment. It turns out deep sea diving is the sole remaining option.
Princess Lala, who is half Scottish becomes the romantic target of both suitors. The indingenous people arrange a marriage ceremony whereby both men are going to marry her, although neither realize they are sharing a bride. This plan is destroyed by another authority on the island who wants to make her his latest bride to add to his collection. It's at this point that the plot breaks down and it seems they wanted to just end the script in the alloted time.
Cameo appearances by well-known movie stars of the era are interspersed. If you don't watch carefully you'll miss them however. The most creative part is the conclusion.
Road to Bali.......2007-03-16
Got it very fast and it is a great movie. Of course with old Blue eyes and Bob Hope. It had to be.
Forgettable.......2007-02-12
The plot was OK, but the songs were forgettable--almost painful--and the dancing was amateurish. I found myself fast forwarding through a lot. However, the comedic exchanges between Bing and Bob were fun.
Slapstick with a Setting Reminiscent of Gilligan's Island.......2007-01-17
Two comedians entertain us. While traveling, one sleeps below the train (risky!). When playing on bagpipes and in Scottish suits, they kick each other. There are other humorous scenes throughout this flick.
They land on a tropical island somewhere in the southern Pacific Ocean. Each one assumes that he will be the one to marry Princess Lalah. And, similar to the characters in Gilligan's Island, they have to deal with such things as wild beasts (in this case, the affections of a gorilla), natives and their poison darts, an angry volcano, and the imminent prospect of being beheaded. So who actually gets to marry Princess Lalah? I will not spoil the ending by revealing it.
