Product Description

Synopsis

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello play wrestling promoters whose star attraction, Wee Willie Davis, skips town to return to his home in Arabia. While scouring the desert in search of Davis, Bud and Lou inadvertently purchase slave girl Patricia Medina, and with equal inadvertence join the Foreign Legion. In their own bumbling, inept fashion, our heroes manage to foil a desert uprising fomented by shiek Douglas Dumbrille and traitorous Legion commandant Walter Slezak. The film's highlights include an opening-scene parody of pre-rehearsed wrestling matches, a "mirage" routine capped by one of the hoariest vaudeville punchlines in history, and a runaway-jeep climax. All in all, however, Abbott & Costello in the Foreign Legion is one of the team's lesser efforts. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

3.0 out of 5 stars THIS TIME THE TEAM WREAKS CHAOS IN THE FORIEGN LEGION, Aug 15 2000
This review is from: Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion (VHS Tape)
This basic Abbott and Costello comedy is a fast paced adventure about Abbott and Costello as wrestling promoters. When I first watched this I thought it wouldn't be as funny as the teams other outings but then I was wrong. I noticed that Abbott and Costello do the same old same old though but never the less the team does pull through.

BEWARE WATCH OUT

For the teams most funniest routines.

4.0 out of 5 stars Non stop gags, no boring songs or needless romance, Jan 3 2000
By M. S Swanson (Elkhart, IN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion (VHS Tape)
This was one of my first A&C movies and I still think its one of their funniest. Even though this was probably their 28th or 29th movie, they seem especially energized and comical. The film just rolls along with gags about wrestling, boot camp, mirages,pretty girls and you name it. There are plenty of bad guys and Costello gets to do his famous "scare take" several times to great effect. A hit in its day, and a hit for all fans of classic comedy today.
