Good movie but grossly overrated

best movie i've ever seen.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The "road" series is at its best in the third installment that proves that the third time is the charm. Stranded after the boat they've stowed away on blows up (caused by Hope's smoking in the boiler room), they end up where all the old hour glasses are emptied out. This has a great title song that a sets the whole thing up, getting polite digs into Paramount and the censors, making predictions of running into Dorothy Lamour, and introducing hope and Crosby to a friendly camel, as well as the spirit of Hope's late aunt, played like Hope looking very much like Charley's aunt.As usual, Lamour is in distress, a princess in search of a prince, or at least a temporary one to marry her in predictions of an ancient curse. Lavish sets, inside tongue in cheek jokes and Hope getting to make time with Crosby's best gal. There's non stop laughs, action and the occasional song, especially a reprise of "Moonlight Becomes You" where the trio switch singing voices and imitate each other's styles.The return of Anthony Quinn from the first film provides the action, with cute Dona Drake as Lamour's lady in waiting. Another very funny moment has hope pretending to be retarded in order to get free food with a laugh out loud encounter with the shop keeper. This is the gag a minute movie that I would rank among the funniest films ever made. Of the remainder of the series, only the follow-up ("Utopia") came close with the others all amusing but not nearly as finny as this.

In this-the third Road movie starring Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour-the series reaches its peak what with one camel spitting in Hope's eye, a few more talking with animated mouths, and an all-out chase involving various noises and explosions! Lots of great lines and scenes involving Hope and Crosby and get this-not only does Crosby still end up with Ms. Lamour but Hope also ends up with another pretty woman played by Dona Drake! Great use of inside jokes as well as voices coming out of the wrong mouths when the three leads sing "Moonlight Becomes You"! In summary, Road to Morocco is perhaps the most fun of the Road movies yet! Oh, and Anthony Quinn makes his second of appearances in the series, his first being Road to Singapore. Next up, Road to Utopia.

Another of my all time favourite films, I must have seen it more than umpteen times over the decades. The 3rd of the 7 Road movies, and imho the best with a lovely romantic musical comedy adventure atmosphere with witty dialogue that by now I know by heart, good songs, and a fine production all round. What a classic! Story has 2 drifting Americans Crosby & Hope at loose ends in a strange country (buster) who get ravelled up with matrimonial astrological mishaps and Lamour, together with some Arab intrigues, but muddle through it all joyously and zanily. On the way we also meet spitting and talking camels, a noisy ghost, nodding statues, a monkeys uncle, drive-in waitresses hurling burgers out into the desert, and a myriad of slapstick characters. Favourite bits (from so many): Crosby selling Hope to a life of slavery – they took any old junk; Hope's imperiousness to all when elevated to temporary royalty – especially to the raffiest of riffs; Crosby crooning Moonlight Becomes You to Lamour; love-mad Quinn looking for the sons of cockroaches stealing his bride; the celebratory scenes in the tribal tent.Did any of that make sense to you? It's a film you really have to see to appreciate; comments about it cannot do it adequate justice. Maybe not sidesplitting humour and with nothing really offensive - although I'm sure some serious people would point at racial stereotyping and fun poked at the shop keeper with the speech impediment - but still a lovely little film, made with the sole aim of making money by making ordinary people happy.This type of film made me very happy when little, young and mature, sadly (or thankfully) people grow up faster harder and more demanding these days. But otoh I still live in hope that younger generations including my daughter will be able to sometimes remember there are always simpler nicer things they could be watching when they're being bombarded by the routine cynical filth passing as normal cinema in todays wonderful world.

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"!
