1962, Film: “The Road to Hong Kong”

The British film "The Road to Hong Kong" is released in March. It is the seventh and last film in "The Road to..." series. The comedy is directed by Norman Panama with Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Joan Collins in the main roles.

Dorothy Lamour, the female star of the previous films, had a cameo appearance. In her autobiography, Lamour wrote that Crosby thought her too old to be a leading lady (she was only 48 at the time), while Hope refused to do the film without her. Her extended cameo singing with Hope and Crosby was a compromise. Other cameos are played by David Niven, Peter Sellers, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin. To preserve the feel of the previous Road films, the movie was shot in black and white.
