Road to...

Road to... refers to a series of seven comedy films starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour. The movies were a combination of adventure, comedy, romance, and music. The minimal plot often took a back seat to gags, many of them ad-libbed by Crosby and Hope during filming.

The movies contain many in-joke references to other Hollywood actors and jabs at Paramount Pictures, the studio that released all the films except for The Road to Hong Kong. There are also frequent instances where Bob Hope breaks the "fourth wall" to make side comments to the audience such as, "(Crosby)'s gonna sing, folks. Now's the time to go out and get the popcorn." in the Road to Bali.

In 1977, an eighth Road to... movie was planned titled Road to the Fountain of Youth. Unfortunately, Crosby died that year of a heart attack.[1] Two years later, Hope announced the possibility of doing the film with George Burns, but the film was never made.[2]
