Movie Info
Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy is the last of the team's vehicles for Universal-International. Stranded in Egypt, Bud and Lou hire themselves out as travelling companions to archeologist Kurt Katch. Before long, Katch is murdered by a group of cultists, and a medallion, embossed with a map which leads to a sacred burial site, is accidentally swallowed by Costello. The boys become the unwilling pawns of the cultists, led by Richard Deacon, and a greedy adventuress, played by Marie Windsor.

Probably no worse than the usual Abbott and Costello comedies in the long running series, it just seems worse.
Abbott and Costello were really the ones able to finally kill Universal's classic monsters.
One of those movies that explain why Bud and Lou went out of style.
The boys were really winding down with this one...
Audience Reviews for Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy
Super Reviewer
Still, these two were fun to watch, especially on the same screen as monsters like the Mummy. While for comedies, these movies had surprisingly nice costumes and set pieces. I'm not sure what's not to like about anything Abbott and Costello did.
