Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Road to Morocco, number three in the series of breezy comedies teaming Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, may be the funniest of the bunch. Bing and Bob find themselves Morocco-bound ('like Webster's dictionary'), caught in an elaborately faked-up world of harems, palm trees, and other Arabian Nights bric-a-brac. Naturally, Dorothy Lamour is also there, as she was the customary target of male rivalry in the Road scenarios. There is something so loose and ingratiating about the patter between Hope and Crosby that it doesn't ultimately matter if half the jokes don't land; these guys had their own comfortable rhythm, fueled by cheerful one-upmanship. Their sense of spontaneity broke the fourth wall between movie and audience in a way only the Marx Brothers had really accomplished before, and audiences--feeling in on the joke--ate it up. Songs (including 'Moonlight Becomes You'), topical references, and ancient vaudeville routines fill out the program. --Robert Horton

The thing about these Bing and Bob road shows is that if you've seen one, you've seen them all and so it makes sense to just get the best one of the lot to see what you've missed; that one would be "The Road to Morocco". I have to admit that I didn't really like this very much the first time I watched it but surprisingly upon second viewing, I found myself appreciating the jokes a lot more and although not all of them age very well, I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that most of them did! ...

This old movie is priceless. It is most likely the best of the "Road" shows with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. There is nothing complex in the movie, just lots of clean fun and laughs, and also some music. If you want some real laughs, and old-fashioned commedy with great humor, then this is the movie for you.

I just absolutely adore these "Road" movies. As a generation "x" member that did not grow up in this era I still love to imagine what it might have been like if I would have. Hope and Crosby are timeless and everytime I watch it I catch a new joke. I love that my young children (7 and under) can watch this and get a little "culture" too!!

Perhaps offered the breakthrough role for the great Anthony Quinn. Surprising to think this picaresque romp was made in 1942. The picture quality is excellent. If a buddy movie like this were made today it would move a lot faster, contain several nudes, probably a few porn scenes, and every third word would start with F. Also, everything would be dirty. Just before, and during, WWII, everything was clean. The boys were clean, their clothes were clean, the desert was clean, and the girls were sweet and ... Read More

One of the best of the seven "Road" movies (this is the third) in the series starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour. It's totally nonsensical - the boys are shipwrecked off Africa and chase after Lamour, who's the princess of Morocco. The jokes fly, some good (many of the best gags are self-deprecating and refer to real-life instances or routines from previous movies), some not, and Crosby sings a few songs ("Moonlight Becomes You" is probably the best). These movies were a whole mind ... Read More
