Road To Bali (1952)

American musical comedy.

Two unemployed show-biz pals accept treasure-diving work in Bali for a local princess and they find treasure, love and trouble.

Road To Bali is the sixth of the seven Road to … movies. It was the only entry in the series filmed in Technicolor, and was the first to feature surprise cameo appearances from other well-known stars of the day.

Among the celebrities who made token “gag” appearances in this film are bandleader Bob Crosby (Bing’s brother), Humphrey Bogart, by way of a clip from The African Queen, Jerry Lewis, Dean Martin, and Jane Russell, as her character from the film Son of Paleface (1952). The cameo by Martin and Lewis was part of a ‘comedy trade’ whereby they made an appearance in this movie while Hope and Crosby appeared in Martin and Lewis’s Scared Stiff the following year. Martin and Lewis also made films for Paramount at the time.
