For, as comedy, the “Road to Singapore” is cobbled with good intentions, is blessed intermittently with smooth-running strips of amiable nonsense, but is altogether too uneven for regular use. We would not go so far as to call the road closed, merely to say one proceeds at his own risk, with heavy going after Lamour.

I reckon this lousy review will ensure the boys’ careers as movie stars end before they get going. Maybe they should stick to radio, recording, and live performances. Too bad. Hope and Crosby seemed like naturals for light comedy on film.

They’ll never last — no staying power at all.

(Hindsight is ABSOLUTELY amazing — that is why I love these threads — thanks again Homer for doing all this work for these threads. I don’t always respond but I try to read them all and cast myself back to the day these were published without my current knowledge. A reverse “Early Edition” of sorts).
