    Corney as hell but I loved them.

    Should have been better, I love when A & C meet monsters, but this is probably one of the lesser of their monster films.

    Yet another film combining Abbott and Costello with one of Universal's earlier horror film characters. As American cops involved in an exchange program in London, the duo are fired for their incompetence. Intent on redeeming themselves, they vow to catch the serial killer who has...( read more) been plaguing the streets. When they finger a prominent doctor as the murderer, no one takes them seriously until it is verified by a news reporter. A chase across London then ensues. Strangely Dr Jekyll is just as evil as his alter-ego.

    A classic comedy. The duo of Abbot and Costello bring us the laughs again in this film. This time they get their antics mixed up with Dr.Jekyll/Mr.Hyde. The film is a joy to watch and is full of laughs. This comedy is still funny to watch to this day.
