Product Description
Widely regarded as one of the best of the Road To series, Bing and Bob play two song and dance men who are forced to leave Melbourne in rather a hurry in order to avoid various marriage proposals which have come their way and so sign on as deep sea divers working for a Balinese prince. Whilst he hopes that they will manage to locate a chest of lost treasure that lies at the bottom of a bay, he omits to tell them that it is guarded by a sea monster. Or that if they do manage to locate it, they will attract unwelcome interest from some not so friendly natives. The sixth in the Road To series and the only one made in colour, it features the usual Road To crew of Bing, Bob and Dorothy Lamour and guest roles for Dean Martin, Jerry Lewis and Jane Russell.

Format:DVD
This film is a classic, as it was Bing & Bob's first "Road" picture in colour. Alas, this copy is
about a third or fourth generation copy. Anyone
thinking about buying this DVD from Orbit should
go elsewhere! Be warned!

Format:VHS Tape
I enjoy all of the road films and 'Road to Bali' in particular.
Sadly, this VHS release appears to have been copied from the worst print available. It would appear that the DVD copy is just as bad if not worse. It is a pity that the film appears to have been released by an independent rather than MCA who use to own the copyright to all of Bing Crosbys films

Format:DVD
The Road to Bali is one of my favourite Bob Hope films. However, the producers of this DVD have ruined it with a very inferior product. This is the only one of the 'Road' movies to have been made in Technicolor, but in this copy the colours are extremely dark and very muddy. I gave up watching it after 20 minutes.

Good film - bad copy.
When I ordered this title I didn't check on the manufacturer, I assumed it was 'Universal', who have supplied excellent prints of the other 'Road' films I had previously ordered. Read more

road movie review
The movie was for my husband not for me!. I think he likes it as I heard him laughing when he was watching it. The quality is good, delivery excellent.

Poor Quality
Great film - a classic but the quality is poor and a digital remastering is long overdue.
