Very interesting and funny entry in the series

Very interesting and funny entry in the series. It has great jokes and a great plot about Abbott and Costello being trapped on an island with a tribe who wants to kill them. One of the funniest in the series.

Amiable and meandering comedy starring Abbott and Costello

Amiable and meandering comedy starring Abbott and Costello which is just a bunch of bits strung onto a typically ridiculous plot. The boys are bus drivers who hijack their own city bus to help out a society bachelor who needs to get from Chicago to California for a yacht race. Soon, the law is after them -- in the form of William Demarest (a Preston Sturges favourite); they duck into a magician's dressing room to escape (cue hijinks). We are then treated to a few musical interludes (including from The Ink Spots) in the club, which was common in 1940s films of this type and gives them a relaxed feel. Soon, though, Costello drives the bus into the ocean and the duo winds up on the playboy's yacht, and subsequently shipwrecked on a tropical isle. There they run into beautiful or burly natives, an anthropologist who is really running a gang of jewel thieves, and some more slapstick and wordplay. Of course, given the vintage, there are some pretty crude caricatures on display here but fortunately the racism isn't mean-spirited (but unfortunately it is still racism) - Lou Costello is typically the butt of most gags. The sexism is probably more unabashed and there is a fair amount of leering (1940s style). But if you feel disposed to look past these things (which we can hope are moving behind us, at least overtly), then there are a bunch of chuckles here and everything feels pretty good-natured. One of A & C's better outings.
