Rating: 
- 3 1/2 stars for this last nostalgic reunion of Hope and Crosby!
This 1962 release of "Road To Hong Kong" marked the last appearance and "Road" picture the two legendary entertainers would ever make.While this film may not be as sharp as some of their original efforts of the 40s,it is still a quite enjoyable jaunt and worth seeing.
This United Artists film was shot in England at the famed Shepperton Studios.Melvin Frank,who was to become involved a short four years later inone of my favourite comedies "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum",produced ... Read More

- The lives of their time

Rating: - Road to HongKong
Their last movie together and their gags and lines starting to where thin but still over all a reasonable film if you want the road series of crosby and hope.
Rating: - The last "Road to..." movie & worth the money
When I first came across this movie I was a bit skeptical- how would it stand up next to the earlier pictures?Boy am I glad I went ahead and added it to my collection.It's at least as funny, and may even be a bit better than the all the others!
