Take a trip to North Africa with Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorothy Lamour with Movie Night at the Museum’s screening of “Road to Morocco” Aug. 29.
In the 1942 film, which is considered the best of the seven “road” comedy films starring the famous trio, two stowaways on a sea freighter — Jeff Peters (Crosby) and Orville “Turkey” Jackson (Hope), are blown into the ocean when the freighter explodes. They make it to land only to be captured by agents of the beautiful princess Shalmar (Lamour). As with all of the road movies, the film is full of adventure, comedy, music and romance — and a camel spitting in Hope’s face in an unscripted moment that made it to the final cut.
The film will be shown at the Northwest Montana History Museum, 124 Second Ave. E. in Kalispell. Doors open 6:30 p.m. Admission and popcorn are free. Soda, water, beer and wine are available for purchase. Seating is provided, but viewers are welcome to bring their own cushions or seating.
