Road to Hong Kong (1962) Lobby card

We've done this film already but I'm having a bit of a Bob Hope thing this evening so lets post a new image for The Road To Hong Kong, in which Bob (and Bing) can be seen wearing a suit that's possibly original to them but which goes on the pop up in the following few years in at least a couple of other films

Road to Hong Kong (1962)

The Road to Hong Kong was made in1962 at Shepperton Studios in England.  It starred Bing Crosby and Bob Hope and features a host of other guest stars, many of whom come across as a little bit fresher and a lot funnier than the series reoccurring comedy duo.  Not surprisingly this was the last of the Road to.. series of movies. 

 

 

And - of no particular interest to anyone one other than me- it appears to be the first appearance of this particular space helmet which turns up the next year in Mouse on the Moon (1963) and then a little later on as part of  the killer robots in The Earth Dies Screaming (1965)

Now that's kind of cool.
