Movie Reviews of Africa Screams
Movie Review: Great print of A+C's "Africa Screams"-Goodtimes Home Video
Summary: 5 Stars
This Goodtimes Home Video edition-2000, is an excellent print. I enjoy this particulary silly A+C film. If you are an A+C fan get this edition, which is out of print. Other public domain copies of "Africa Screams" are very bad, but not this Goodtimes edition. It is worth a little extra money. I read that the Image Entertainment edition was also a good print but that is O.O.P. also - 79 minutes B+W - I am writing about the disc pictured, which I bought days ago. I do not know why it says "United Artists" and 2001 under Product Information. My disc says "Goodtimes Home Video" and the year is 2000. Again, I am writing about the edition pictured, which is NOT United Artists and is not 2001 but is 2000.
Summary of Africa Screams
AFRICA SCREAMS Abbott & Costello on the Silliest Safari Ever! America's favorite dim-witted duo hits the jungle trail in this journey into hilarity from director Charles Barton, whose nine films with Bud and Lou include the classic Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Bookseller Buzz Johnson (Bud Abbott) persuades the lovely but villainous Diana Emerson (Hillary Brooke) that Stanley Livington (Lou Costello), who's even afraid of a housecat, is a wild game hunter. Diana claims she wants to capture a rare orangutan, but she's really searching for diamonds, and she doesn't mind subjecting the boys to lions, hungry cannibals, and even a giant ape to get them. Featuring real-life animal experts Clyde Beatty and Frank "Bring 'Em Back Alive" Buck as themselves, plus two of the immortal Three Stooges (Shemp Howard and Joe Besser), this is the silliest safari ever!
