Customer Rating:      Summary: abbot and costello meet the mummy Comment: Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummythis is a terrible movie. the dialogue was inane, the slapstick was idiotic, drawn out and repetitive and the acting so wooden to the point where the only reason this sorry excuse for a movie was made was to capitalize and profit on the abbot and costello name. as opposed to the top quality of the characters, plot and monsters found in "abbot and costello meet frankenstein", this cheap rip-off doesn't even have a decent mummy character or any talented actors and special effects for that matter. if you must see this movie check it out from the library. buying or renting it is a waste of money.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Excellent! Comment: Product was in great condition when received. Excellent on timing. Came in just in time for Halloween.
Customer Rating:      Summary: A Classic Comment: Abbott and Costello have been a Halloween Tradition in our house. Good old Classic movie fun. Amazon always comes through with the quality, speed of delivery and customer service.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Short on laughs Comment: While in Egypt, Peter and Freddie (Abbott and Costello) get involved with a walking mummy, his cult followers, and a cursed medallion.
That's a pretty short summary, but honestly, that's all there is to this disappointing comedy. Abbott and Costello were past their prime in 1955 and the film shows it. The jokes aren't much unless you think endless punchlines with "mummy" instead of "mommy" and snake charmers with rubber snakes are funny. Abbott yells too much at Costello and they both are barely going through the motions; in fact, they call each other "Bud" and "Lou" throughout. The ridiculous casting of Richard Deacon ("Mel Cooley" in The Dick Van Dyke Show) and Michael Ansara (TV's "Cochise") as Egyptian mummy-worshippers makes the story even more far-fetched. It's about thirty minutes too long and plays like a bad SNL skit. Definitely not one of their best.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great Movie Comment: I searched for this movie in local stores and found nothing. I don't know why I bother looking anywhere other than Amazon.
