Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein.
============================

~Intro duction~
The wonderful Abbot and Costello are here in probably their best film.

They get to poke fun at not just Frankenstein (Glenn Strange) but also Dracula (Bela Lugosi) and the Wolfman (Lon Chaney Jr.).
Get ready for a timeless rib tickling comedic fest.


~Synopsis~

Abbott and Costello are baggage handlers until that is a rather strange package turns up, Dracula!
He has brought with him a weakened Frankenstein monster and soon decides that Abbots brain would do nicely inside of Frankenstein head, well, Abbot is understandably not too keen on this and so begins 90 Minutes of pure comedic fun.

Meanwhile the Wolfman arrives from London with plans of destroying Dracula.
But Dracula bites the Wolfmans girlfriend and captures Abbott, it is then up to Costello and the Wolfmans girlfriend to find and free Abbott.
And then the moon rises and all hell is let loose as Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolfman are running free whilst Abbott and Costello are just running for their lives.


~Opinions~
Probably their best film ever, shot at the height of their popularity.
This film is a cracker, they jokes and puns come thick and fast.
Bela Lugosi is his usual menacing self, Lon Chaney Jr is more scruffy mongrel than Wolfman and Glenn Strange is a not very scary Frankenstein.

Abbott and Costello are absolutely fantastic; they make the movie a special and hilarious romp.
This is a great movie even if a bit old.
You will not be disappointed.

Another great old classic - I'd like to see this again!

Of course they could never hold a candle to L&H but I agree this was one of their best efforts. David

An entertaining review. This sounds like a film to get ones teeth into. Martin.
