The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock [HD]

SEVEN reviews for SEVEN different releases of the SAME film -- lumped together!
If you get the "Complete Universal Studios' Abbott & Costello Collection", THAT's what you get:
all of the UNIVERSAL STUDIOS A & C movies. But, to complete your collection you'll need a few more.

This one is the only one Lou did without Bud -- it literally killed him.

Bummer!

This is NOT, by ANY measure, an e-x-c-e-l-l-e-n-t film, but it is much better when seen in --- the original ---
" wonder filmed 'A=M=A=Z=O=S=C=O=P=E' ."

This 1959 film IS Black and White, but it's the only one EITHER of "the boys" made in w-i-d-e-s-c-r-e-e-n.
Buy the correct one!
Only THIS ONE =======>The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock<======= is in widescreen.
(All six of the other c-h-e-a-p-e-r ones are pan-and-scan/cut off at the sides.)
This will fill all 55" of your widescreen TV... corner to corner x four...

Going Out On A Surprisingly High Note
at some point during their infamous feud, Jack Benny compared his semi-friendly rival Fred Allen to Abbott without Costello. no offense to Bud Abbott, a thoroughly on-the-dime straight man who contributed as much to the act as did Lou Costello (as does any comedian's straight man, really), but it does sound rather bland doesn't it?
as opposed to Costello without Abbott?
much has been made of this film and it's affect on it's erstwhile star, because (a) it was his one outing without Bud Abbott, and (b) it turned out to be a posthumous release. it "killed him," some say. and of course, like anyone's last hurrah, there are inevitably those who'll insist it must mean the magic has dissipated. (people frequently, for instance, see a tv series ending it's run and assume the series doesn't "have it" anymore. it never occurs to the average person that it might've been a lousy timeslot, for instance, or maybe the fad has simply run it's course.)
i'm not qualified...
