Description:
AFRICA SCREAMS Abbott & Costello on the Silliest Safari Ever! America’s favorite dim-witted duo hits the jungle trail in this journey into hilarity from director Charles Barton, whose nine films with Bud and Lou include the classic Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Bookseller Buzz Johnson (Bud Abbott) persuades the lovely but villainous Diana Emerson (Hillary Brooke) that Stanley Livington (Lou Costello), who’s even afraid of a housecat, is a wild game hunter. Diana claims she wants to capture a rare orangutan, but she’s really searching for diamonds, and she doesn’t mind subjecting the boys to lions, hungry cannibals, and even a giant ape to get them. Featuring real-life animal experts Clyde Beatty and Frank 'Bring ‘Em Back Alive' Buck as themselves, plus two of the immortal Three Stooges (Shemp Howard and Joe Besser), this is the silliest safari ever!
