“ROAD TO MOROCCO”
(Third week).—An Englishman the other evening talked about that, "terrible picture, “Hcllzapoppin.” Not tor one moment did the writer agree w.tn him, hut it is a point whether our sense ot humour -here in New.. Zealand was developing more along American lines than English. He hasn’t seen “Road to Morocco ’(St. Janies), but I wondered how lie would regard the daft humour of Hope and Crosby. Personally, I think this film is one _of the funniest, smartest things that has hit the screen in months. . You know the story—such as it is hod and Bing, thrown up on a convenient .beach in Africa thumb a ride fr<»m a camel. J hey eventually hump into Dorothy Lament, who has discarded her sarong for something with less acreage (if possible) and more sparkle. Bing sells Bob in a slave market, and the purchaser is Dorothy (no coupons needed). They sing, a lot ana fool a lot, and generally give the audience a thoroughly good evening out.
