Download or read book Road to Box Office written by Randall G. Mielke and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1997 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting with Road to Singapore in 1940, Paramount teamed Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour in one of the most successful series of movies ever. All the road films followed the same basic format: adventurers Hope and Crosby would be caught in a seemingly impossible situation, then they would defeat the bad guys and vie with each other for the attention of Lamour. With a few musical numbers and some comedy routines thrown in for flavor, the movies seemed to work perfectly. A history of each of the seven films is presented here, along with a comprehensive filmography.
