{"product_id":"0191091195253","title":"The Road to Hollywood","description":"Road to Hollywood may have starred Bing Crosby, but it was by no means one of his popular \"Road\" pictures with Bob Hope. In fact, it wasn't even a new film when released in 1946. Road to Hollywood is comprised of clips from Crosby's two-reel musical comedies made at the Mack Sennett studios between 1931 and 1932: I Surrender Dear, One More Chance, Dream House, The Billboard Girl, Blue of the Night and Sing Bing Sing. Astor Pictures, a firm specializing in reissues of older films, owned the rights to these short subjects and had already made a mint distributing them to theatres in the early 1940s. Now Astor hoped to sustain the cash flow by excerpting the old Crosby films into a hazy \"continuity,\" then passing the whole melange off as a \"new\" feature picture. Heavily advertised and craftily promoted, The Road to Hollywood was a success, making plenty of money for everyone but Bing Crosby and Mack Sennett.","brand":"ALLIED VAUGHN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47090780504304,"sku":"0191091195253","price":11.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0191091195253_p0.jpg?v=1763442851","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0191091195253","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
