Were A Bat And Giant Lizard Really Necessary For "Abbott And Costello Meet The Mummy?????????????????????????"

                            Universal must have been desperate when it filmed this 1955 knock off, which looks like it has been knocked off.  Everything--sets, effects, mummies (yes, there are three!) look cheap, and the veteran comedians don't even play characters, calling each other by their first names.  Only Marie Windsor, as Madame Montru, livens things up.  And this was just two years after she did the 1953 sci-fi classic "Cat- Women Of The Moon," which we would all love to see, wouldn't we, darlings???????

                               Still, this is not the worst film shown by "Svengoolie" in our time watching him.  That distinction still belongs to the 1966 film, "The Ghost And Mr. Chicken," with Don Knotts.

                              But "Abbott And Costello Meet The Mummy" is a close second.   May we never see it again.

                              And wait till you hear about the real gem "Svengoolie" has for this week.   But it is Holy Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
