We used to watch either "White Christmas" or "Holiday Inn" every holiday season... and I say "either" because I can't remember which one we watched. They're the same movie! The same cannot be said for "Road to Hong Kong," the final Crosby-Hope "Road to" picture. Although by this point things were getting labored (more a problem of the script than the stars' advanced ages, despite what you'll read in reviews), there is one brilliant scene in the movie, starring a then-rising comedian, Peter Sellers. This never fails to make me laugh. "Let's play some jazz, man." This will seem like heresy, but this short bit makes me laugh more than all of "The Party." For best results, advance it to 1:24 (if it doesn't do so automatically).
