Summary: Entertaining for the youth
Review: Jack & The Beanstalk...an amusing film for an adult but really good for young children. Basically it's the story of an old woman who lived in a shoe, little boe peep and jack and the beanstalk. All of the kids fairy tales in this amusing movie. Africa Screams here would be the better picture for adults however. Africa Screams which features 2 of the Stooges third stooge(Joe Besser and Shemp Howard)Shemp's character is rather unamusing and Joe Besser's character is ok. But the stars that shine here as always are Bud Abbott & Lou Costello. Very funny picture and this 2 dvd combo is definitly a worthwhile purchase.

Summary: It was really...good!
Review: Just before christmas of 2005, my husband started talking about Abbot and Costello movies. One movie he mentioned in paticular was "Jack and The Beanstalk". So I decided to search for the DVD on Amazon. I was so amazed to see how many Abbot and Costello movies and I thought of how my husband would like the selections because he's a movie buff...I am not. So I read the reviews and they made me somewhat nervous because they wher VERY mixed. But one thing I found in commom is that those who reviewed said is that the movie transfer was poor.
Well, I watched the movie and I thought ir was GREAT! I hesitated when my husband asked me because I REALLY didn't want to watch some old boring film. It didn't take me long to laugh. Even our children enjoyed it. I said I would buy him more titles soon.
Don't worry about the film quality in the beginning because one you start watching, you'll laugh at the silliness of it all then it won't bother you.

Summary: More Madacy trash...
Review: Madacy has done it again...taken what could have been decent DVD's and turned them into trash. The video transfer from film is very poor, but the worst is the audio. Madacy has a history of producing low-cost low-quality legacy DVD's, just look at other reviews of Madacy titles (check out Charlie Chaplin DVD's). This is a shame because younger folks who've never seen these classics may walk away with the wrong impression. If you really want these titles get this one, it looks cheaper than ASIN B00000IC8F (which has the same titles & release dates). But Caveat Emptor folks.

Summary: Go Ape or go Giant!!!
Review: Ok, here it is. I am a huge fan of Abbott and Costello movies. Africa Screams is a decent one and has many funny moments but its not their best. Jack and The Beanstalk is ok but thats about it. You won't go wrong watching these movies though. So, on this DVD double feature i went Ape and Not Giant if you get my drift. Ape for Africa Screams and throw out the magic beans for Jack and the Beanstalk. 3 stars is all i could give!

Summary: Considered Excellant Classic Oldies
Review: We are movie buffs but enjoy movies of the 40s. they seem to take your mind off the every day problems of today.

Budd Abbot & Lou Costello are to us an outstanding comedy team of the 40s and 50

We hope that Amazon will continue to seek out many more of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello movies

Keep up the good work
