Abbott & Costello In The Foreign Legion (1950)

Two wrestling promoters (Bud Abbott, Lou Costello) travel to Algeria in order to get back their star wrestler (Wee Willie Davis) who has deserted them to return to his native land. However, the two find themselves inadvertently joining the French Foreign Legion where they discover a nefarious plot that puts their lives in danger. Directed by Charles Lamont, this was the comedy duo's 26th film together. It's one of their better vehicles, full of sight gags and dumb but funny jokes. The most hilarious bit features a fish with false teeth that's milked for all it's worth that had me laughing more than I should have. The barely there plot isn't important, it's just a blueprint for Abbott and Costello to build up a collection of laughs. The supporting cast includes Patricia Medina, Walter Slezak, Douglass Dumbrille, Marc Lawrence and Tor Johnson.
