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.

This is such a strange film. I haven’t seen any of the other road to movies just yet but now I want to! Some of these jokes did not age well but overall some good laughs.

This is so fucking silly. Really hard for Crosby and Hope to fail with the chemistry and timing they have, but Road to Bali gets bogged down by too many set-pieces and dated references. The zingers and bits are still reliably amusing too.
