Editorial Review:
They are some of the best-loved film comedies ever created. Now, four of the most popular "Road" pictures, starring the unbeatable screen duo of Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, are here together in this deluxe DVD collection. Join Bing and Bob as they travel the world and experience rollicking, fun-filled misadventures in the company of the alluring Dorothy Lamour in such screen gems as Road to Singapore, Road to Zanzibar, Road to Morocco and Road to Utopia. You'll laugh yourself silly with four of the titles that made Hope and Crosby one of the most successful comedy teams of the 1940s and which continue to charm and entertain audiences of all ages today.
On the Road With Bob Hope and Bing Crosby Collection (Road to Singapore/Road to Zanzibar/Road to Morocco/Road to Utopia) Reviews:
If you love Bob and Bing 
2009-03-28 - Then this is a must for your collection, or a good place to begin one.
Fun films but packaging misses bullseye 
2009-02-25 - The first four ROAD pictures are real treasures of comedy and music. Hope and Crosby's easy style have often been immitated by newer comics and even animated characters, but never equalled. The only downside to this collection is putting all on one disc. Just don't like double sided discs when not necessary. Making this a two disc set should not have increased production costs enough to increase the purchase price. Finally, WHY only the first four? Was it a rights issue? The 5th, RIO, must surely still be under Universal/Paramounts control. Still these squabbles don't negate the life of these films. What classic Hollywood was all about...
just great
2009-01-31 - a true classic, a joy to watch all 4. "they don't make them like this anymore"
great box set
2009-01-07 - I loved this box set. I used to see these on Sunday afternoons nice to be able to see them whenever I like. Great quality.
The Road To Fun & Laughter
2008-10-28 - These films are no-brainers. Literally.
Just check your brain at the door, so-to-speak, and let Hope & Crosby be your guide on a journey to far off fun, chuckles, gags and goofs!
Sure it's full of shtick and predictable pratfalls, but it's supposed to be!
I mean, the whole point of classic comedy is making people laugh at you simply by poking fun at yourself. And the jokes that are scripted are pretty funny, too!!!
There's laughs, guffaws and gams galore in this superb collection of exotic adventure. And speaking of gams, pay attention to the lovely and alluring Lamour who often finds it hard to control her own giggling at Hope and Crosby's antics!
In this day and age of apprehenion, now is the time to, "Hit The Road" to fun and laughter.
