- the sand to make it a sacred place and then start singing a song when all of a sudden she begins to sing and appears. It’s old hat, but this is clean fun. The reactions are delightful, and the comedy makes me truly laugh out loud.
I miss the kind of comedy that is offered in Road to Zanzibar. It’s family, lightweight, pure fun. Much of it is
improvised, with Hope and Crosby just taking the scenario they are placed in and running with it. I’ve heard that Lamour had difficulties with that early on, until she finally figured out that if she wanted dialogue, she needed to jump in when she felt like it.
I love the songs in Road to Zanzibar, too. They’re as fun and feel-good as the rest of the movie. It’s another winner.
