Road to Morocco (1942)


Recently had the time to revisit this funny, funny film. The Road pictures will never grow old. The dialogue is fast and furious, and at times it's hard to keep up with. One-liner after one-liner.

Worth another visit if you have the time.

The scene where the camel spits in Turkey's ( Bob Hope's) face wasn't planned. The camel did it of its own accord while the cameras were rolling, and Hope's recoil and Bing Crosby's reaction were so funny that it was left in the final cut of the film.

This film was selected to the National Film Registry, Library of Congress, in 1996 and is on AFI's list of the top 100 funniest films of all time.
