4.0 out of 5 stars Wait for Best of Volume 4, September 4, 2004

By 

Bliggick (Vancouver) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (DVD)

Although Meet The Mummy is a decent swan-song for Abbott and Costello with Universal Pictures after an incredible run of about 30 films I can't really recommend buying this DVD unless you can get it dirt-cheap or if for some reason you only like this A&C vehicle and none of their later films. Unlike the companion edition ...Meet Frankenstein, which is filled with wonderful special features that were not included with Best Of Volume 3, Meet The Mummy contains almost nothing except for production notes and cast and crew, and when Universal releases Best Of Volume 4 you will be paying no more than three dollars per movie which has made the Abbott and Costello Best Of series one of the best DVD values available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who Cares About Behind-The-Scenes Grumbling?, November 27, 2002

By 

Edward Lee "Trekscribbler (NCC1205)" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy (DVD)

ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET THE MUMMY was one of the funniest of their screwball antics. The tale of the two cleverest yucksters chasing a medallion to an ancient Egyptian crypt where they encounter -- as the title promises -- the Mummy is one classic set of laughs after another. All of the trades touched on the bitterness the two men felt for one another during the filming process of this outing, but, with all the magic of their performances still on the silver screen, you sure wouldn't know it. A great transfer for a classic addition to any DVD library, this is one for the ages.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bud and Lou put a wrap on their Universal movies., February 14, 2001

This review is from: Abbott & Costello Meet the Mummy [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Bud and Lou's final film at Universal is a pleasent little comedy, nothing more. It managed to generate some chuckles and a constant warm smile on my face, but no deep belly laughs (unlike some of their greatest work in Hold that Ghost, Hit the Ice, or ...Meet Frankenstein). Seeing character actors Michael Ansara and Richard Deacon in supporting roles was an added hoot for the movie. The best thing about ...Meet the Mummy that I can say is that after several viewings it still has not worn out its welcome as a Sunday afternoon time waster in our home. Enjoyable matinee fluff.
