Road to Utopia (1945)
In this hilarious addition to the Road pictures starring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, there’s the usual tongue-in-cheek dialogue about knowing that it’s a movie. Bob breaks the fourth wall, there are jokes about sets and casting, references to the studio, and Robert Benchley introduces the film and himself as a studio representative. He says that since these movies are so bizarre and disjointed, he’s been hired to make comments to the audience from time to time to make the plot clearer. Whenever he does pop up, it’s absolutely hilarious. He’ll say anything from a needless and very funny explanation of something that was very clear, to simply a shrug and an admission that he has no idea what’s going on.
The movie starts off in the home of Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour, an old married couple who receive an unexpected visit from Bing Crosby. They haven’t seen each other in 35 years, and it’s very cute to see them acting old yet still with the same gimmicks as when they’re young. The rest of the movie goes back in time to when they met, and the plot in this installment is very funny: Dorothy Lamour’s father had a map to a gold mine in Alaska, but after he dies, the map gets stolen by two murderous crooks, Robert Barrat and Nestor Paiva. Do you think Bob and Bing might get mistaken for the other pair?
Watching the fourth Road movie will make a very enjoyable evening. There might not be any songs that stand out from this one, but there are tons of hilarious jokes, the classic love triangle, some double crosses that will keep you guessing, and a dangerous-looking scene with a grizzly bear.
