Road to Rio (1947)


Paramount
Directed by Norman Z. McLeod
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(HD-DVD, BCI-Eclipse)

Nearly plotless Bing and Bob road flick that sees the friendly duo traveling to Brazil. It takes awhile to get there, with lengthy detours in New Orleans and on board a cruise ship. It's hardly worth the wait, since things don't really pick up in Rio. It relies heavily on a hypnotism plot device and goes on for at least 20 minutes too long. Even the usual array of variety acts fail to liven it up.
