Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine 01/07/2020
Only once or twice does this loud farce recall the robust flavor of the partners' first big hit. Reconmmended, though, for juveniles and other A & C addicts. Go to Full Review

steve d 01/08/2023 Perhaps the weakest of the entries. See more 04/01/2015 A & C bring the funny See more 05/08/2013 Great Abbott and Costello film, though it may not be as perfect as some of their other films it's still pretty good and very funny. See more 03/29/2012 An amusing effort which isn't too far off the mark from Laurel and Hardy's superior 'Bonnie Scotland' (1935). See more 12/28/2011 Not bad but a weaker one thus far. See more 09/23/2011 In this film Bud and Lou get there first taste in being outside the US, Its comical to see what wasn't political correct in these days. The are on a quest to find a wrestler who broke his contract and left New York for his home tribe in Algiers. Comedy is there but again not like some of there other films. 3 stars See more Read all reviews
