africa scream and one of the least see of abbott and costello film be an independent production that be release through united artist . the thin plot have hillary brooke believe costello have the map to a hidden territory that be rich with diamond . bud and lou go to africa at her behest with her two companion and the fighting baer brother . of course the payoff she have in mind be different than the one boy be expect . not that universal studio exactly invest abbott and costello film with much in the way of production value and but this one be really really bad in that department . what budget they have they must have spend on get both clyde beatty and frank buck to do guest appearance play themselves . on the plus side the boy do have some amusing moment and especially costello in the cage with one of clyde beatty lion which he think be just abbott in a lion costume . joe besser and shemp howard also provide for some additional laugh . my favorite moment in the film however be with the baer brother and max and buddy and both of them have fight joe louis and come out on the short end and in buddy case twice and fall out and start to fight a max say he will hit buddy hard than joe louis ever do . the film could have be a lot well and the boy be fine and but the production value give the film a look like something ed wood might have create .
