JaffreyPark Theatre presents ‘Road to Bali’

Bob Hope and Bing Crosby made a series of seven “road movies,” satirizing some of the most popular films of the time.

One of those was “Road to Bali,” made in 1952. It also starred Dorothy Lamour, a regular co-star in six of the films. The Park Theatre, 19 Main St. in Jaffrey, will present the film, Sunday, Aug. 18, at 2 p.m.

“Road to Bali” is a musical about Harold (Bob Hope) and George (Bing Crosby), two vaudeville performers traveling in Australia. After they realize their local gal pals intend to marry them, they sign up for a diving expedition led by the local island prince, Ken Arok (Murvyn Vye). They soon meet the prince's sister, Lalah (Dorothy Lamour), who rules a beautiful island. When their dive uncovers a jewel-filled chest, Ken tries to steal both the treasure and Lalah's throne, and the trio is forced into hiding.
