Joan Collins in Norman Panama's Road to Hong Kong 1962 - The Road to Hong Kong (1962) was the last in the long-running Road to... series and the only episode not produced by Paramount Pictures. Regular stars Bing Crosby and Bob Hope returned, but the leading lady was now Joan Collins rather than Dorothy Lamour. Lamour made a cameo appearance as herself late in the film and other cameos are provided by David Niven, Peter Sellers, Roger Delgado, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin. The plot involves espionage and rockets, being reminiscent of Dr. No and hence is part of the spy craze of the 1960s. Although the movie features the same kind of antics and gags as previous episodes, with all characters trying their utmost to help each other, the film was not as well-received as its predecessors. The famous transsexual April Ashley appeared in this film, but her credit was pulled after the press revealed this. Bob Hope and Bing Crosby return as Con-men Chester Babcock and Harry Turner, in the last of their road movies. When Chester accidentally memorizes and destroys the only copy of a secret Russian formula for a new and improved rocket fuel, they are thrust into international intrigue, trying to stay alive, and keep the formula out of enemy hands. This is the final Hope and Crosby movie. They play Chester and Harry, two hucksters. When Chester loses his memory, they are told that his only hope is to go to a lamasery where they have an herb that can not only restore one's memory but enhance it. Now through a case of mistaken identity they get there hands on some sensitive material and the only copy of it is in Chester's head. But unfortunately for them the high lama sent someone to get the herbs back thus making it impossible for to get the information. And the people who want it are willing to do whatever it takes to get it.

what film is this??

Chinatown, Schminatown. The entire picture was shot at a British studio. And Chinese food, or at least an Americanized version of it, has been popular in the U.S. since the early 20th century. And was the young Joan Collins gorgeous, or what?

They are not really in Hong Kong. They are somewhere in US Chinatown in the old old old old old old old days well before chicken chow mein become a national cuisine in USA !

Part 3 - "We were standing in the middle of the set getting the final light checks for our love scene, and Bing had spat at least three times that morning.... I arranged my face into the correct loving expression to gaze into Crosby's bland blue eyes and smell his rancid breath and wondered again how people could think an actress's life was just a bowl of cherries." (Joan Collins Past Imperfect: An Autobiography, Berkley Book, 1985, p183-84)

Part 2 - "He did not endear himself to the crew, and he had the revolting habit of spitting on the set or wherever he happened to be. We spent days shooting on stage that had sawdust on the floor, and he would clear his throat and aim a great wad of pipe spit on the piles of sawdust scattered around, to the chagrin of the tiny Cockney in charge of sweepig the set.... Crosby puffed away on his pipe, oblivious to all the activity going on around him."

Quote from Joan Collins' book "Joan Collins Past Imperfect: An Autobiography" Part 1 - "I liked Bob Hope immensely.... Bing Crosby, on the other hand, was a different breed: offhand, grumpy and vague. He appeared me to always as an old man acting very young, or a young man who looked old. His face was like a piece of crumpled tissue paper and I never felt his eyes when he looked at me. They looked through me."

joan wasn't as complimentary towards crosby whom she said was cold and had the revolting habit of spitting on the set, a cleaning man reportedly said to joan "you poor thing, imagine having to kiss him, i'd rather kiss hitler!"

Joan Collins has said that working with Bob Hope was one of the best experiences of her professional career. She described him as being 'adorable'. Such lovely fun chemistry between those two.
