03/02/2022 Last of the road movies for Hope and Crosby, Joan Collins does well and Dorothy Lamour has small roll. Best part is Peter Sellars bit as Indian doctor. Interesting that this and the hit movie Doctor No introduced the long running James Bond movies in same year. See more 09/14/2021 This final Hope/Crosby "Road" picture was made a decade after their prior one, and in this one, they interact mostly with then-newer stars, with Dorothy Lamour only appearing toward the end. The movie begins with the vaudevillian song-and-dance number "Teamwork" where the stars prove they can still sing, dance, and interact like they did before. But this story is different from their past ones. It begins conventionally where they run a scam in India, but Hope has an accident and loses his memory, and Crosby ends up taking him to a lamasery to get an herb to cure his partners amnesia. Mistaken for secret agents at an airport, they are given a rocket fuel formula which the cured Hope memorizes-and when the spies discover what happened, Hope and Crosby are taken to the headquarters of "The Third Echelon", and end up being placed into a spaceship and sent into outer space. Quite the road trip. The song-and-dance numbers are fewer but still good, but as indicated above, the story is crazier than their previous ones, including the ending. Still reasonably entertaining otherwise. See more Steve D 07/19/2020 Definitely one of the worst in the series. See more 08/04/2018 The final ROAD film in the series is not up-to-par; even though it's fun to see Crosby and Hope together again, the silly plot keeps getting in the way and the film only picks up briefly when Dorothy Lamour appears on the scene. See more 04/20/2015 not the best 'road pic' but still watchable See more 01/03/2014 Last of the Hope/Crosby "Road" pictures. Big and Bob are 10 years older than when they made the last Road picture, so they seem kind of out of place in the sewin' 60s along with Joan Collins. However, if you like Hope and Crosby it's enjoyable enough, even if it's one of the weakest Road films. Also, you get quite a few 1960s pop culture references that are fun if you know then and quite a few cameos by big names like Dorothy Lamour, Zsa Zsa Gabor, David Niven, Peter Sellers, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra.
