3701 - SEDUÇÃO EM MARROCOS (1942)

Road to Morocco (1942) – Ticklish Business
Hope, Dorothy Lamour e Crosby

A SEDUÇÃO DE MARROCOS (ROAD TO MAROCCO, USA, 1942) – Não se deve esperar uma grande obra de arte dramática com essa série estrelada por Bing Crosby e Bob Hope. Apenas diversão, o que é ótimo. Hope era excelente na stand-up comedy apenas e ele certamente sabia disso. Desta forma, adequava sua carreira no cinema ao seu talento. Crosby, por sua vez, era um cantor que queria atuar, e o fato de ter ganhado um Oscar em 1944 é o resultado desta dedicação. Don’t expect to go into a viewing of any Hope and Crosby picture and see a strong story or plot, nor should you expect the acting to be outstanding. They deliver fun, which is great. Bob Hope's true strength was standup comedy, not acting, and I think he knew that. That's why we only saw him in roles where he could be pretty much rely on his stand-up skills. Bing Crosby, on the other hand, had a flair for acting even though he was primarily a singer. In fact, this won him an Oscar two years later, which shows how serious he was about his acting.
