Even if you haven't seen the film but know the principals, you can figure out who's saying my summary line, who it's about, and who the speaker is saying it to. If you can't, you've never seen a Road show.
The picture isn't much more than a showcase for Crosby and Hope to fire off their one-liners and get in a few decidedly successful song numbers, but it's the type of film I always enjoy watching for sheer entertainment value. The gags are fast and furious, and there's one I had to do a quick double take on in the latter part of the picture. When Bing sprinkles some ground up tobacco leaves onto a display an Arab is selling, Hope quips - "Hey, whattya doin', makin' reefers?" Man, if I had this on DVD, I'd still be replaying that scene.
As for Lamour, this might be the best she's looked in a film I've seen her in to date. The exotic locale and Arab princess garb help, but she really did look gorgeous here. No wonder the boys always fought or sang over her. Moonlight Becomes Her indeed.
My vote for one line that should have been in the flick but wasn't - "I've never seen a picture with so many talking camels before"!
