Review Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein:Universal Pictures made a great deal of money from its monster movies in the 1930s. In the early '40s, the burlesque team of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello kept the studio's coffers full. When the two franchises were combined in 1948, the result was another windfall-despite the apparent oil-and-water mix of subject matter. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein was the first of these summit meetings, although the title is a misnomer. Actually, Bud and Lou bump into most of the Universal heavy-hitters, including Count Dracula (played by Béla Lugosi himself), the Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr. ), and the Frankenstein monster (veteran monster Glenn Strange). There's even a token appearance by the Invisible Man, whose disembodied voice is recognizable as that of Vincent Price. Sure enough, the film is funny, especially since it gives the portly Costello multiple opportunities to do his wide-eyed, quivering scaredy-cat routine. Audiences ate it up, and in future installments Bud and Lou would run into Boris Karloff, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. [+]Hyde, the Invisible Man, and the Mummy. But the first was the best. -Robert Horton.

Creator: Lou Costello
Review Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd / United Home Video:One of only two Abbott and Costello movies filmed in color, the two play a pair of goofy swashbunglars. Riotous misadventures begin when Captain Kidd (Charles Laughton) mistakenly exchanges a treasure map for a love letter entrusted to Rocky and Oliver (Bud Abbott & Lou Costello) to be delivered to the lady-fair of a friend. When the mix-up is discovered, the boys offer to make the exchange for a cut of the treasure. Captain Kidd agrees to their terms and carries them off on a pirate ship bound for Skull Island. What follows is the wildest scavenger hunt ever, and a victory for the boys who save the day and win the treasure. The superb talent of Charles Laughton along with the timeless humor of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, makes this feature a Classic Collectable. Laughton, abandoning his usual dramatic roles, brilliantly displays a comic parody of his most famous role as Captain Bligh (MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY) and was said to have accepted the part without reading the script, just for the chance to work with the famed Funnymen.

Review Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy:After 15 years of hit movies for Universal Studios, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello left the studio in the twilight of their partnership with the last of their monster comedies. Decked out in desert safari gear, the boys go looking for a job with an Egyptologist and wind up in the middle of a conspiracy concerning the murdered professor, an ancient mummy, and a magical medallion that, true to form, bumbling Costello manages to eat for dinner. Marie Windsor, the boss lady of a gang of treasure hunting crooks, dresses in a harem outfit to vamp for our chubby little hero, and the eternally stiff Richard Deacon hilariously plays the leader of an Egyptian mummy cult like a high school principal decked out for Halloween. Directed by longtime collaborator Charles Lamont, it's a typical Abbott and Costello farce with disappearing corpses, mistaken identities, and wacky word plays ("Take your pick" riffs on "Who's on first" with garden tools). While not as clever or spirited as their original monster mash Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, the vaudeville veterans are still masters of the double take and fast-talk patter, and the picture climaxes with a screwball chase that involves not one, not two, but three mummies skittering through the phoniest looking pyramid this side of community theater. You were expecting realism? The boys appeared together once more on film, in Dance with Me, Henry, and then split up. -Sean Axmaker.
