Road to Rio (1947)
9/10
A Fun Romp
24 August 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Hope and Crosby play two vaudevillians who entertain at a circus, and they are given extra money for Hope to ride a bicycle along a tightrope. Unfortunately Hope falls and accidentally sets the circus on fire, and the vaudevillians flee and stow away on board a ship bound for Brazil. En route, they encounter a suicidal woman being coerced into a marriage she doesn't want, and get involved.

The movie does have a sinister story and frightening villains, but it has plenty of fun scenes of singing and dancing and clowning, with appearances by the Andrews sisters and the Weire Brothers. Fun entertainment for all.
