Review of Road to Bali (1952) by Derrick D — 29 Apr 2006

[b]SYNOPSIS:[/b] Having to leave Melbourne in a hurry to avoid various marriage proposals, two song-and-dance men sign on for work as divers. This takes them to an idyllic island on the way to Bali where they vie with each other for the favours of Princess Lala. The hazardous dive produces a chest of priceless jewels which arouses the less romantic interest of some shady locals.

[b]REVIEW: [/b]A moajority of this movie is slapstick comedy followed by more slapstick. But there's actually a story there. It'd be interesting to see how badly this movie would get butchered if it were remade today. My favorite bit is the bent gun barrel and the bullet that keeps circling around the duo's tent. Hilarious!
