In Egypt, two idiot assistants accidentally foil an attempt to rob the tomb of King Tut.
Penultimate Abbot & Costello feature, with the usual frantic antic. This time it's a trio of 'mummy's' chasing the inept duo around the tombs, one of the mummy's is the real thing, the other two are impostors trying to frighten off some archaeologists, but in the best traditions of the B feature cinema, things get a little confused - and no one knows who is, or what is the real mummy.
Pretty typical A & C fare, once the most popular screen comedy duo, with a great, deal less 'double talk' than their earlier films, and thus there is more 'action'. Very popular with my children and their school-chums.
Apart from some slightly light opening shots (in the desert) this is a very good print indeed, with very nice b/w gradation. These prints will not be available for much longer, so if you're interested, you should get one now, the kids should love it.
