- Breakup Breakout: Possibly the Ur-Example for a popular singer. He began as a member of the trio The Rhythm Boys, then found stardom as a solo act after they broke up.
- Playing Against Type:
- Crosby's performance as a down-at-the-heels alcoholic in The Country Girl is a far cry from his usual happy-go-lucky image.
- His final acting role, in the 1971 Made-for-TV Movie Dr. Cook's Garden, has him as a small-town physician who's secretly a Serial Killer.
- Those Two Actors: As mentioned on the main page, Bing and Bob Hope in the Road to ... films.
- To add to the cameraderie, Dorothy Lamour appeared in all of them as well, something that was lampshaded by Bing at the beginning of Road to Morocco: "I'll lay you eight-to-five that we meet Dorothy Lamour!"
- Crosby would often do a cameo appearance in Hope's other movies as well; in at least one case he steals the heroine away in the process.
