Now for good or ill, California is the place where trends tend to be set in Western civilization - if civilization indeed it is.

Hope and Crosby made seven 'Road' movies, starting in 1940 with 'Road to Singapore.' The movies were always about Crosby and Hope fleeing America and finding Dorothy Lamour in some exotic location.
