-->Now when I watch ''Film/FaceToFace'', I remember an old farce with Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, and Dorothy Lamour. It's called ''Film/RoadToMorocco''. They have been shipwrecked and come floating on a raft in front of a projected New York in the background. In the final scene, Bob Hope throws himself to the ground and begins to scream and foam at the mouth. The others stare at him in astonishment and ask what in the world he is doing. He immediately calms down and says, 'This is how you have to do it if you want to win an Oscar.' When I watch ''Face to Face'' and Liv Ullmann's incredibly loyal effort on my behalf, I still can't help thinking of ''The Road to Morocco''.
