Storyline
Jeff and Turkey, two wild and crazy guys adrift on a raft in the Mediterranean, are cast away on a desert shore and hop a convenient camel to an Arabian Nights city where Turkey soon finds himself sold as a slave...to luscious Princess Shalmar of Karameesh. Naturally, Jeff would like to rescue Turkey from this "dire" fate, even if it means taking his place! But they haven't figured on virile desert chieftain Mullay Kassim, who has designs on the princess himself... Written by Rod Crawford <puffinus@u.washington.edu>

Trivia
Anthony Quinn returns as the villain. He is the only actor, apart from the three leads, to play a similar character in two separate "Road" pictures, making him a semi-regular. He first appeared as Caesar in Road to Singapore (1940). See more »Goofs
Kasim is told about the prophecy that Princess Shankar's first husband will die in a week, so then he agrees to let Orville marry her first. Yet when Jeffrey is about to marry the Princess, Kasim is mad and tries to stop it so he can marry her. Kasim was never told of the mistake in the prophecy. See more »Quotes

The Road to Morocco is the best of Crosby/Hope road movies, in my humble opinion. Yes, the plot is paper thin, but the comedy and self-deprecating humor is there. Much of the comedy is slapstick, but this is a movie that's not afraid to say "It's just a movie, don't take it seriously." In the first song, Crosby and Hope allude to it being just another road movie. Naturally they'll meet Dorothy Lamour, and they have nothing to fear, because Paramount will protect them. This is not a movie to have a serious, philosophical discussion about. This is a movie to pop into the VCR on a Saturday night and forget about your worries.
