Watch Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy For Free

Instant Favorite.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Adequately amusing, this is another attempt by Abbott and Costello to meet one of the former Universal monsters. Already having met Dracula, Frankenstein's monster, The Wolfman, an invisible man who wasn't quite Claude Rains for his imitators, & a non universal monster in Mr. Hyde, they now had to Egypt where they become involved in another attempt to get ahold of ancient Egyptian treasure. This leaves them into contact with such nefarious characters as femme fatale Marie Windsor and alleged Richard Deacon, they end up in a chase with an alleged mummy locked up in a closed off tomb where nothing scary really happens and you know pretty much what the results are going to be. It's all pretty juvenile and while there are some funny moments, I'm afraid this is more for the kiddie crowd than adult movie crowd. obvious Caucasian chorus girls attempt to be Arabic harem dancers and fail miserably. There certainly is not one moment of authenticity, so you must go into this with an open mind with your eyes taped to the front so they don't roll to the back of your head, and a bag of popcorn to munch on, because this is a perfect Saturday or Sunday matinée film, and little else. I remember Abbott and Costello films fondly from my childhood and even into my early adulthood, and while some of them are much better than others, this one falls somewhere in between. It isn't a disaster, but the humor is a major repeat of everything that they had already done and better. The exotic looking Marie Windsor makes a great villainess and Deacon is properly dour. if it wasn't for the presence of these tractors, I think I would have been totally bored.

Bud and Lou find themselves pursued by an Egyptian cult for a special medallion linked to a walking mummy.Abbott and Costello made a large number of films, and a good number of those involved Universal's monsters. This was towards the end of that run, but no less fun or interesting than those at the beginning. Sure, there are no big names here. No Karloff. And a mummy called Klaris rather than Kharis (not that this matters).The fun of the two heroes is still here, with a few of those word jokes we love. There is the obvious mummy / mommy joke, but then another one that might be less obvious involving a pick and a shovel. Good stuff.

Despite being one of the later films in the Abbott and Costello series, it remains one of their most entertaining movies – thanks to a fast-paced plot, a touch of clever scripting here and there and gags which come thick and fast all the way through. The story is as light as ever, involving scheming gangs of nefarious villains, people being chased all over the scenery, lots of secret passages and sarcophagi, a murderous mummy (a pretty poor shambler to be honest) and our duo getting involved in their usual hijinks; namely, Costello seeing all manner of weird and scary stuff, and straight man Abbott missing all the fun each and every time.Although it's a low budget movie with some unconvincing Egyptian locales, not to mention actors (I guess they got through a fair few tins of boot polish here) there is much to enjoy here. Costello is less irritating than usual and is funny on occasion and more than a few jokes are successful; the dinner-table routine with the cursed medallion is a particular highlight and many moments recall the glory days of vintage comedy, in the Laurel & Hardy era.The film does have some longeurs, namely the incessant musical interludes – apparently they had to pad the running time out, even though it only clocks in at seventy-five minutes – and supporting talent from a better-than-usual cast, including a young Mel Welles. Cheesy special effects add to the movie's endearingly dated appeal; an animated bat is even worse than the effects in ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN and a plethora of rubber snakes only add to the jokey fun. Made with a tongue firmly in cheek and with gusto from the cast and crew, this is one of the most straightforwardly enjoyable Abbott and Costello films out there.

What is better than an Abbott and Costello movie with a mummy? How about an Abbott and Costello movie with THREE mummies? Two of them are faux mummies, but it still adds to the excitement.The boys are soldiers of fortune in what looks like Egypt, although at times like India. They resolve to get work with an archeology professor who abruptly leaves the business to become a corpse. Then, we have the "busy body" routine, much like A & C Meet the Killer. One swallowed medallion later and they are up to their necks in intrigue.They don't rely as heavily on "routines" in this flick; but, it is still funny. One obviously vaudeville routine was an attractive woman who haughtily refuses Costello's advances by announcing that she's a dancer, shaking her stuff, then giving him her address, marital status and hours she is home...A few modern dance numbers in this movie. A lot of running and screaming. Definitely in their top ten...
