Road to Utopia (1945) (Blu-ray)

This fourth entry in the hilarious Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour Road series is a blizzard of laughs with Bob and Bing playing turn-of-the-century vaudevillians in search of Klondike gold. After stealing the map to a gold mine from two Alaskan killers, Hope and Crosby assume the identities of the bad guys, swagger into Skagway and meet saloon-singer Lamour. A series of misadventures ensue as the boys, Lamour, the killers and other crooked characters try to outwit each other, obtain the map and locate the mine. The recipient of a Best Original Screenplay Academy Award® nomination, Road to Utopia also features the world-renowned humorist Robert Benchley as an on-camera narrator who adds to all the fun with a running commentary on our heroes’ on-screen antics. Directed by Hal Walker (Road to Bali).
