45KJack and the Beanstalk: Directed by Jean Yarbrough. With Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Buddy Baer, Dorothy Ford. Abbott u0026 Costello’s version of the famous fairy tale, about a young boy who trades the family cow for magic beans.
“Just purchased this film on DVD along with their Africa Screams for $4.99! While it does turn out to be the full 81 minute version it is a very bad print It is still worth having in a collection and a joy to watch. Abbott looks tired though but a surprise to see Costello jumping around and carrying on, although I know a lot of it was stunt work. The disc also has a cute trivia section and BIOS. The above review mentions the giant as Max Baer Sr (Jethrou0026#39;s father) but the IMDb lists him as Buddy Baer, Maxu0026#39;s brother. Of course the change from sepia to colour is very reminiscent of Oz and watching it one could almost think it was made around the same time, but itu0026#39;s 1952!”
