next to the three stooges, abbot and costello are one of the funniest comedy teams ever.

Abbott and Costello pretty much stick to the outline of the original, but put in 1950's stuff and a lot of slap stick. They had up's and down's, this is more up than down.

Subject: I thought this was a delightful movie!
I remember seeing this on tv when I was a kid, and I loved it, so I was delighted to be able to get ahold of a copy.

This delightful musical rendition of the classic fairy tale is entertaining for the entire family. If you're looking for perfection, you won't find it here, but what you will find is a simple, lighthearted fairy tale classic performed true to the Abbot and Costello style that we all knew and loved.

From what I've read elsewhere, this was one of two productions that Abbot and Costello did on their own, the other being called, "The Navy".
