Road to Zanzibar
Bob Hope and Bing Crosby once again hit the Road to comedy, and this time they're really in hot water - guests of honor at a cannibal feast in the darkest heart of Africa. Hope and Crosby play Fearless and Chuck, American side-show performers stranded in the jungle.

The Good Fairy
Margaret Sullavan sparkles in The Good Fairy , a charming romantic comedy directed by William Wyler and written by Preston Sturges. Leaving the orphanage for a job in the city, Luisa (Sullavan) is a naïve young woman who attracts the attention of Konrad (Frank Morgan), a wealthy-but-lecherous meatpacker. Duly warned about the “evils of men,” Luisa claims that she is married, a ploy that backfires when Konrad insists upon meeting her husband. Picking a random name from the telephone book, Luisa...
