Bing Crosby and Bob Hope were great together and both have birthdays in May, so I thought it would be a great chance to celebrate these two!
They played off each other so well and were a lot of fun to watch. They also have so many movies between the two of them, including a bunch together.
Rules
1. You can pick a Bing movie, a Bob movie or a movie they were in together. TV shows are okay too!
2. There is plenty of material between the two of them, so no duplicates.
3. 4 subjects per person.
4. Grab the banner and get started!

Hi Kristen.
Thanks for the invite. I’d like to write about the Bob Hope and Lucille Ball collaborations – including his guest appearance on “I Love Lucy”. Would this be okay?
Of course! Thanks for joining!
Hi, found one can you add me with Bing in the TV Movie, Dr Cook’s Garden (1971)?
Great topic! I’d love to write about Road to Rio.
Of course! Fun! Thanks for joining, Michaela! Sorry I was so terribly late with my Doris Day post. Getting back on top of things now 🙂
Hi Kristen! I’d like to review “Road To Morocco” if that’s OK.
Hey Rebecca!
For sure. Thanks for joining! *goes off to rewatch all of the Road to movies now.. 🙂
I’d love to join and write about Bob Hope’s movie Critic’s Choice!
Sorry I won’t be able to join this event, but here’s a little something from the archives for a bit of “what might have been” 🙂 But please keep me in mind for next time!

I would like to do a post on The Princess and the Pirate (1944), and a post on the Mack Sennett shorts that Bing Crosby made.
Hi Johanna! Great! Thanks for joining!
I was wondering if it would be okay, if I did My Favorite Brunette (1947) instead of The Princess and the Pirate (1944)?
Hi Johanna,
Sure! No problem!
Great! Thanks!
I’m not sure if you got my last comment, but I’d love to join and write about Critic’s Choice (1963)!
