Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

After 15 years of hit movies for Universal Studios, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello left the studio in the twilight of their partnership with the last of their monster comedies. Decked out in desert safari gear, the boys go looking for a job with an Egyptologist and wind up in the middle of a conspiracy concerning the murdered professor, an ancient mummy, and a magical medallion that, true to form, bumbling Costello manages to eat for dinner. Marie Windsor, the boss lady of a gang of treasure hunting crooks, dresses in a harem outfit to vamp for our chubby little hero, and the eternally stiff Richard Deacon hilariously plays the leader of an Egyptian mummy cult like a high school principal decked out for Halloween. Directed by longtime collaborator Charles Lamont, it's a typical Abbott and Costello farce with disappearing corpses, mistaken identities, and wacky word plays ("Take your pick" riffs on "Who's on first" with garden tools). While not as clever or spirited as their original monster mash Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, the vaudeville veterans are still masters of the double take and fast-talk patter, and the picture climaxes with a screwball chase that involves not one, not two, but three mummies skittering through the phoniest looking pyramid this side of community theater. You were expecting realism? The boys appeared together once more on film, in Dance with Me, Henry, and then split up. --Sean Axmaker

4.0 out of 5 stars Wait for Best of Volume 4, September 4, 2004
By Bliggick (Vancouver) - See all my reviews
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 Wrapping Up the Horror Spoofs, March 26, 2001
This review is from: Abbott & Costello Meet the Mummy [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Although this isn't the classic that ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN is, it's still funny, reasonably fast-paced and has some excellent supporting actors like Richard Deacon, Marie Windsor and Michael Ansara. The only drawback is the character of Klaris the Mummy, who is not handled all that amusingly, and who furthermore is hampered with a makeup job that shames the professionals at Universal. He looks like a man wearing a giant pot-holder. Among the funniest scenes are Windsor's attempted seduction of Costello in a room full of hidden henchmen.

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