Customer Reviews of Road to Utopia
Unmitigated lunacy Loosen every stressed out cell in your body. As the amazon product description says, one can but feel sorry for people who can't appreciate this kind of comedy. However, I suspect these people probably (justifiably?) formed their opinions by watching "Road to singapore" or other somewhat less spirited/average films in the series, and are likely to miss out on this gem. <

> This one is the best of the "road" collection. You can watch this (utopia) a hundred times and still be tickled by Hope's one-liners. Of course, Crosby defines "cool" (at least on screen).
A lot of fun ... in this road picture
This road picture is my co-favorite with Zanzibar. I just think that there are more funny lines per minute in these two than any of the others.

>I read where they (Paramount) held off on releasing this picture because Bing was in the running for the academy award (for his performace in "Going My Way" ... and he would eventually win) and they didn't want to jeopardize his chances of winning.

>He's a rogue here ... that's for sure. And Bob is his patsy ... again.

<
>There's a nice little song on the deck of the ship. There's a talent contest, and the boys would lose out ... to a monkey. But it's a nice little number. Later on Dorothy Lamour sings "Personality", and is her usual charming self ... with a nice little Betty Boop accent.

>But this road picture is aided by the sly commentary of Robert Benchley, and there is little or no lull in the fun.

Surrealism, songs, slapstick- a fantastically funny flick!
Classic 1946 comedy "Road to Utopia", the 4th in the "Road" series, starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour. After their Morocco jaunt in 1942, Crosby, Hope and Lamour spent four years making their separate successes, before rejoining to go back in time on an anachronistic Alaskan adventure in "Road to Utopia", a film that was nominated for a "Best Original Screenplay" Oscar and which is even crazier than its predecessor, with a talking fish taking over from Morocco's comical camel, the addition of narrator Robert Benchley and an ending so outrageous it's a wonder they managed to sneak it past the censor! The Johnny Burke-Jimmy Van Huesen score includes "Put it There, Pal", "Good Time Charlie" and "Personality". Surrealism, songs, slapstick- a fantastically funny flick and an essential for fans of Hope, Crosby, Lamour or crazy comedy in general. An American classic!
