Description

Bob Hope & Bing Crosby in Road To Bali (1952, 91 minutes, Color) Also starring Dorothy Lamour; Cameos: Martin & Lewis, Bob Crosby, Humphrey Bogart, and Jane Russell. On their way to Bali, Harold Gridly (Hope) and George Cochran (Crosby) fall in love with gorgeous Princess Lalah (Lamour). She favors George but feels obligated to Harold, because he resembles her childhood friend - a chimpanzee! Bud Abbott & Lou Costello in Jack and the Beanstalk (1952, 70 minutes, BW/Color) Abbott and Costello wind up babysitting a bratty kid. While reading the classic Beanstalk story, Costello falls asleep and dreams about a boy who trades the family cow for magic beans. In the dream, Abbott and Costello set out to kill a terrifying giant. Hilarious fun for Abbott and Costello fans! Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy in Flying Deuces (1939, 69 minutes) Also starring Reginald Gardiner When Oliver finds out that his love, Georgette is already married, he takes Stanley and joins the Foreign Legion. Their bumbling antics get them sentenced to a firing squad. Accidental fire, impromptu soft-shoe dance, and a wild plane ride lead to a hilarious “freak” ending. One of Laurel & Hardy’s funniest films! The Three Stooges in five Short Movies: Knife of the Party (1934, 20 min.), Disorder in the Court (1936, 16 min.), Sing a Song of Six Pants (1947, 17 min.), Brideless Groom (1947, 17 min.), Malice in the Palace (1947, 15 min.) Plenty of nyuk-nyuks, bonks, boings, and woo-woos from three madcap, Oscar-nominated comedians! These five movies showcase the slapstick gags of comic masterminds Moe, Larry, and Curly who remain one of the most beloved zany trios in the history of comedy troupes.
