The sixth of the duo's 'Road to ' movies is a typically fast-moving adventure that has virtually no plot, relying instead on the interplay between the two male stars who, it has to be said, formed one of the better comic acts during the forties and fifties. This is the only Road movie in colour, and the screen is saturated with it. It's also saturated with a number of beautiful babes in bikinis who form the subject of both Bing and Bob's lust when they're not focusing on third member of the Road triumvirate, Dorothy Lamour, modeling yet another succession of sarongs. It's all good fun: the jokes come thick and fast and, although the meaning of many of them is a little obscure today, plenty of them hit the mark. The songs, provided by Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen, are also pretty good especially Moonflowers, sung by Lamour. Look out for a host of cameos, including Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, Crosby's brother Bob, Jane Russell and Humphrey Bogart (sort of).
