3.0 out of 5 stars One of A&C's funnier romps......, April 4, 1999
By 
George Fabian (Mountainside, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pardon My Sarong (VHS Tape)
I'm no fan of Abbott and Costello but this is one of their funnier romps. The "Tree of Truth" skit is particularly amusing and so is Costello's encounter with a native blowhard (Leif Erickson).A funny takeoff on all those South Sea romances that were so popular in the forties.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF ABBOTT & COSTELLO'S BEST FILMS, September 14, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Pardon My Sarong (VHS Tape)
Abbott & Costello star in this classic comedy spoof of South Sea romances and the "ROAD" pictures of Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and Dorthory Lamour. The team play two busdrivers who get stranded on a tropical island with notorious jewel thieves. The FUNNIEST scene in the movie is "THE TREE OF TRUTH" sequence. The boys are seated under a "MAGICAL" tree with a native girl. The girl explains to them that whoever sits under the tree, and tells a lie, that something TERRIBLE will happen to him. Lou states that if that is the case, he DOESN'T have a thing to worry about because he DOESN'T TELL any lies. He is then IMMEDIATELY hit on the head with a coconut. This goes on for some time. Every time Costello tells a lie,a coconut falls on his head. In order to prevent this Abbott suggests to his partner that he tell the girl the story of "THE TRAVELLING SALESMAN AND THE FARMER'S DAUGHTER", stating that she is a native and has never heard it before. Since the story is FULL of so many falsehoods, Lou ALWAYS winds up getting bonked by a coconut. The end result is when the girl asks Lou what the travelling salesman in the story wanted at the farmer's house, he replies that he wanted a drink of water. POOR Lou is then IMMEDIATELY showered by a downfall of coconuts. 5 STARS once again to this classic comedy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adventure in the South Pacific, December 29, 2008
By 
The film begins at the Chicago Bus Terminal. Bus 5111 has disappeared. Somehow it is on its way to Los Angeles. Tommy Layton and his girls are on the bus. Algernon and Wellington perform their comic skits. [Note the use of flash photography in daylight; this cuts the contrast.] Songs entertain and pad out the story. Will the boys get a free trip back to Illinois? Will the magician fool the detective? "Back up!" "Go Ahead!" Will the boys join the boat crew? "How do they teach them that kind of work?" "Look at the big sardines!" Soon they are sailing into a storm and off course. They are becalmed and low on food and water. More jokes follow. Then land is sighted. Will they be saved? Will a whistle protect Algernon?

What happens when they ring a bell? Will there be a song and dance? They sit under the Tree of Truth. Wellington tells a story. Is there a plot to steal jewels? "You're a stinker." Who will drink from that cup? [Does some of that drama seem funny today?] There are fireworks from the volcano, the hero must offer a sacrifice. [A bail-out?] Is there a conspiracy theory here? There is plenty of comic action at the ending. [Lions on a South Pacific island?] The action is as comic as it is incredible. Will the people on the island be saved?

Did such films provide relief from the worries of those days?
