Bought
AFRICA SCREAMS (1949) and
JACK AND THE BEANSTALK (1952) on a $1 DVD at Target the other day. Seen them both a number of times in the past, but I wanted to check the quality of the DVD which was decent and was getting some good laughs while reviewing some of the scenes. My favorite all time comedians.
JACK AND THE BEANSTALK was also one of my favorite holiday films growing up and
AFRICA SCREAMS was always thought of one of their lesser films, but upon viewing it again it was great fun. The film also has Shemp Howard of The Three Stooges fame and Clyde Beatty, Frank Buck, and Max and Buddy Baer. Joe Besser is hilarious as the butler. Lot's of laughs for only $1 at Target. That's .50 cents a movie. Not bad. Wonder why only these two Abbott and Costello films made to the public domain departement?
Buddy Baer plays a giant in both
JACK AND THE BEANSTALK (1952) and
GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN (1958).
