This is the screwiest picture I was ever in.

Bing Crosby and Bob Hope reprise their earlier success with the third in their series of "Road To" pictures. In Road to Morocco, the hapless duo are castaways on a desert shore where they employ snappy dialog, asides to the camera, and a little song and dance as they woo Dorothy Lamour across the dunes, but not before encountering a spitting camel.
Road to Morocco was added to the National Film Registry in 1996.
Tropes used in Road to Morocco include:
- Be Careful What You Wish For: Hope's character gets his hands on a magic ring.
- Book Ends
- Breaking the Fourth Wall: At one point, they need to disguise themselves as locals, and Hope says something about, "No problem; Special Effects will take care of it." Then he calls out, "Hey, Special Effects!" and their clothing is immediately transformed into local garb.
- Incredibly Lame Pun
