Description:
Road to Rio To avoid being charged with arson after burning down a circus, Hot Lips Barton (Bob Hope) and Scat Sweeney (Bing Crosby) stow away on an ocean bound ship. Aboard the vessel, the duo fall for Lucia Maria de Andrade (Dorothy Lamour), who is under the spell of her evil aunt (Gale Sondergaard). The aunt has arranged a marriage for the young beauty. 1947/B&W/NR/100 Min.
Road to Bali Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Dorothy Lamour team up in their sixth 'Road' picture, Road to Bali, which was the only film in the series to be shot in color. Hope and Crosby star as two out-of-work vaudeville performers who are on the lam. The two are hired by a South Seas prince as deep-sea divers in order to recover a buried treasure. They meet beautiful Princess Lala (Lamour) and vie for her affections. Of course, the boys run into the usual perils such as cannibals, a giant squid, and numerous cameos from some of Hollywood's biggest stars. 1952/Color/NR/91 minutes

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Fun to watch
The whole "Road" series of films is just fun. The actors are having fun, and so do the viewers. Nothing heavy here -- no great messages, but you'll enjoy your evening when you watch it.
Rating:  - GREAT FILMS
Beautiful transfer of Road To Bali.
The High Definition brings out the Technicolor frame beautifully.
Road To Rio also looks quite nice ,not as good as the above,but pretty good.
Lively soundtracks ,with great quality for Mono Movies.
Highley Reccomended.
Now where is the Blu-Ray edition.
Rating: - Excellent Films but Transfers could be better
On the face of it 2 Hope/Crosby films for $13.95 seems like a bargain. And in a way it is. There are no extras but you do get two excellent films.

Unfortunately this appears to have come from a rather sub standard print. It does look better than a standard DVD during closeups but on the whole it isn't much of an improvement. But sound is good and clear.

Rating:  - Fun Movies but transfer is not up to par
Love the Road to series. I watched them with my parents when I was a kid on VHS. While the hd-dvd versions are better than the recent dvd counterparts, it isn't by much. The Road to Rio looks a little washed out in many scenes and the Bali suffers from over saturation. I was hoping that Road to Rio would have the sharp blacks, whites, and grays of Casablanca, but it did not. Road to Bali is the best of the two, visually. Still, they look a heck of a lot better than earlier versions. The audio is cleaned ... Read More
Rating: - Anyone else have a problem?
I've provided a high rating because these are wonderful ROAD pictures with the great Hope and Crosby, and based upon RIO, the transfer looks very nice.
But I have been unable to access ROAD TO BALI from the menu. It keeps going back to ROAD TO RIO. I spent half an hour trying. Are these discs defective?
