Produced by Bud Pollard Road to Hollywood features Bing Crosby Luis Alberni and Ann Christy. At this time Pollard was primarily doing low-budget films with all-black casts but in this movie Pollard stitches together clips from four Educational Pictures/Mack Sennett shorts that Bing Crosby had done: I Surrender Dear (1934) One More Chance (1931) Billboard Girl (1932) and Dream House (1933). These were all two-reel comedies in which Crosby did physical slapstick comedy in the Sennett tradition and sang his hit songs. Pollard himself appears on-screen to do a rather awkward narration that stitches the clips together and ends the film with a short mawkish tribute to Crosby that nominates him for film-star sainthood.
