THE ROAD TO MOROCCO (1942): Two fast-talking guys, Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, land on a desert shore and then promply get sold into slavery to a beautiful princess played by the Dorothy Lamour. 
THE ROAD TO MOROCCO (1942) is the third of six road films the team of Hope-Crosby-Lamour produced during a twenty year range. 
THE ROAD TO MOROCCO was written by Academy Award nominated screenwriters Frank Butler and Don Hartman (for this film) and directed by David Butler for Paramount Pictures. In 1996, the Library of Congress bestowed the highest honor a Hollywood film can receive by selecting it for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. Crosby and Hope are at their absolute best here. The Library of Congress designates a handful of films every year as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". In this way, the film forever remain intact and cannot be colorized, re-edited, or changed in any significant manner. 
THE ROAD TO MOROCCO also make it into AFI 100 Years series. AFI's 100 Years: 100 Laughs is a list of the top 100 funniest movies in American cinema. They chose from a very wide variety of comedies which included slapstick comedy, screwball comedy, romantic comedy, satire, black comedy, musical comedy, comedy of manners and comedy of errors.
