Audience Reviews for Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion

  • Sep 23, 2011
    In this film Bud and Lou get there first taste in being outside the US, Its comical to see what wasn't political correct in these days. The are on a quest to find a wrestler who broke his contract and left New York for his home tribe in Algiers. Comedy is there but again not like some of there other films. 3 stars

    One of the better outings with plenty of funny gags.
