Hope starred in more than 50 films, but is for the Road to movies in which he starred with Bing Crosby for which he will be best remembered. The series of comedies began in 1940 with Road to Singapore and ended 22 years later with Road to Hong Kong. The partnership was unique, a double-act in which each had their own individual careers. The on-screen rapport between the two stars continued off-stage. They often stole one anothers' lines during filming, to brilliant comic effect.
