The Road to Rio 1947 was nearly a staple on old Swedish TV in the early 1970s, but never since.
The Road to Hong Kong 1962, I actually own on an old vinyl LP, and I like a few of the melodies there, the movie though was a huge dissapoitment.
The Road to Bali 1952 and the only in colour, and on early staple on Sky Channel and Super Channel (remember those?), it went out in public domain because Paramount thought Hope Enterprises owned it, and Hope Enterprces thought Paramount owned it, the righfull owner is actually Hope Enterprices and they actually could make a legal case of it, but so far have decided not to do it, re-thinking that if a few Bob Hope movies is out there for free, and they like 'em they pay to see some more. I like some of the song numbers Hoot Man, Chicago Style and so on but the movie is a bit lame.
At the time when Bing died in 1977, I remember there where talks about making a new Road movie called The Road to the Fountain of Youth either as a cinema movie or as a TV movie (but not as a TV-special), I don't know if there actually was a script written or if it was just a loose idea. If it was actually made and realesed in let's say 1978, would there have been a public willing to pay tickets to see Bing and Bob and Dotty?
As I think everybody knows the first suggested stars of the first Road movie was Fred MacMurray and George Burns, and if that would have happened, would there have been sequels?
Dorothy Lamour or Dotty, known once as the sarong girl, and for a while Paramounts highest payed femele star on their salary, is also an important part of the Raod movies success, beatuful, suggestive,excotic, sensual and dangerous but with a twinkle in her eye.
