On the Road with Hope & Crosby Blu-ray Collection (1940-1962) (Kino Studio Classics)

[MifuneFan]

Kino will be collecting their Bob Hope/Bing Crosby Road films into a single box set collection on November 26th. Nothing new compared to the previous individual releases, but it does come with a nice slipcase to house all of them, and the MSRP is also quite reasonable.
