Richard Whitley on ROAD TO UTOPIA
Perhaps not as well-known as their road trips to Morocco or Singapore, but Road to Utopia is one of Hope and Crosby's funniest and most surreal films (screenwriters Melvin Frank and Norman Panama nabbed an Oscar nom).
The boys play two vaudevillians searching for gold in turn of the century Alaska. Produced in 1943 but not released until '46, Hal Walker directed and Robert Benchley narrates in typically deadpan fashion. This lame trailer barely hits at the wacky nature of the film.
