This movie has taken a bum rap over the years. The vast majority of people who've seen it -- particularly Abbott and Costello fans -- don't like it. Some even hate it. The reason: they say it just is not funny.

While it doesn't measure up to A & C MEET FRANKENSTEIN, this film has its amusing moments, particularly the climax.Bud & Lou's attempt to find Jekyll's formula and stumbling instead into his wine cellar was a nice bit too. Karloff's smoothly sinister Jekyll is a joy to watch; only Vincent Price could have spread the evil treacle so thickly! Overall, the pacing lags in places, but still great fun.

Abbott and Costello may have been one of the all time great comedy teams, but this effort does not do them justice. The whole thing seems lifeless, as they were doing it simply to meet a contractual obligation with Universal Pictures. Director Charles Lamont cannot hide the movie's low budget (shots are recycled so many times that it becomes painful to see), obviously all the money went to the transformation and monster effects. Your time would be better spent with A&C meet Frankenstein.
