Critic Reviews

The Guardian Paul Howlett

Timeless entertainment. [24 Dec 2005]

Bosley Crowther

A lampoon of all pictures having to do with exotic romance, played by a couple of wise guys who can make a gag do everything but lay eggs. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

The third, and best, in the "Road" series, Road to Morocco has everything going for it. Bob Hope and Bing Crosby were not yet tired of the formula, and their breezy acting wafts the picture along in a melange of gags, songs, thrills, and calculated absurdities. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Morocco is a bubbling spontaneous entertainment without a semblance of sanity; an uproarious patchquilt of gags, old situations and a blitz-like laugh pace that never lets up for a moment. It's Bing Crosby and Bob Hope at their best, with Dorothy Lamour, as usual, the pivotal point for their romantic pitch. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

The third, and along with Road to Utopia, probably the best in a series which began in 1940. Read full review

Michael Wilmington

Perhaps the most typical of all the "Road" pictures: melodic, low-pressure, funny. [02 Apr 2000, p.C38]

The Observer (UK) Philip French

A witty, light hearted movie in which Bing sings 'Moonlight Becomes You' to a suitably enchanted Dorothy Lamour. [25 May 2003, p.8]

Movie is an amusing musical comedy, and another successful pairing of the two stars. What I liked best were the clever break the fourth wall jokes, some that involve talking camels. Dorothy Lamour is stunning and charming, but she has competition with lots of beautiful harem girls. I alsoMovie is an amusing musical comedy, and another successful pairing of the two stars.
