Road to...

Road to... es una serie de películas protagonizadas por Bob Hope, Bing Crosby y Dorothy Lamour. También son conocidas como Road Pictures. Sus tramas están llenas de aventuras, comedias, romance y musicales. La mayor parte del repertorio corre a cargo de Crosby y Hope que siempre hace uno de listo y el otro de despistado. Dorothy Lamour hace de dama en la mayoría de las películas (princesa o heroína en algunas hisdtorias), Crosby hace del inteligente que siempre se une a los personajes de Lamour, y Hope del despistado que acaba envolviendo en muchas situaciones a todos con sus confusiones.

Todas las películas hacen referencias a otros actores de Hollywood, principalmente a los de Paramount, siendo todas las películas realizadas por ésta productora salvo The Road to Hong Kong, realízada por United Artists.
