Two years after arriving at Paramount, Bob Hope would make the first of his teaming-with-Bing Crosby-movies with Dorothy Lamour as the leading lady. Bing had been the studio's No. 1 star for years so he's the first billed while Ms. Lamour had also been pretty popular for awhile so she's second leaving Hope third-having just becoming established as both a radio star and the studio's most popular comedian after the phenomenal success of The Cat and the Canary. Anyway, since this wasn't originally written with them in mind, there isn't as much comedy as you'd expect if you've seen the subsequent Road movies but there are still some very amusing lines and scenes especially when Hope's radio stooge, Jerry Colonna, shows up. I was also amused when Johnny Arthur-best known to me as having played both Spanky's and Darla's father in a few Our Gang comedies-had a scene with Colonna. Overall, Road to Singapore is no great shakes but a nice start for the Road series. Next up, Road to Zanzibar.
