PLEASE READ THIS - This dance sequence, which features Dorothy Lamour and Anthony Quinn as the dancers, is from the first Crosby and Hope "Road" movie, "Road to Singapore", from 1940. The film was directed by Victor Schertzinger, who also directed "Road to Zanzibar".

I am always looking for new ideas for this series. If you have any suggestions please don't hesitate to drop me a line.

  • funny exotic dance performed in Singapore in 1940

  • Well, you are correct that it's a funny, exotic dance performed in 1940. However, it definitely wasn't performed in Singapore. This film was shot at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.

  • Say, did these actors use Pepsodent??

  • I'm afraid I'm not with you this one. Your comment suggests there is a lot of toothy grinning in this clip. Dorothy Lamour smiles a couple of times; Anthony Quinn scowls during the whole thing, except for a weak smile at the end; Bing is pretty straight faced throughout; and Bob gives a few provocative pouts and a bit of flirtatious beaming. Nothing really over the top on the dental Richter scale though.

    Please help us out.

  • he is referring to Bob Hope's radio sponsor, Pepsodent toothpaste

  • Many thanks for enlightening me about this. I grew up here in Australia and was never aware that Bob Hope had appeared in Pepsodent commercials in the US.

  • @pwgr2000 There's a "native dance" performed elsewhere in the movie, and if you listen closely the "South Sea Islanders" are all singing in Esperanto.

  • You'll wonder where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent!

  • I was just being silly because Bob was on the Pepsodent show. I got it on CD to listen to as I drive and the Pepsodent commercials are fun.

  • Anthony Quinn had made about 20 films by the time he appeared in ¨Road to Singapore¨ in 1940. His first film was ¨The Milky Way¨ in 1936.
