    Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd (1952)

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    Swashbuckling nonsense as Abbott and Costello go in search of the titular pirate’s secret treasure when, as two tavern waiters on the pirate island of Tortuga, they are accidentally given a treasure map.

    In between the comedy and songs of the two stars, Charles Laughton chews the scenery with wild abandon as the fearsome Captain Kidd.

    I recently fulfilled the dream of over 40 years and saw The Zombies perform live (They were amazing!). Their current bass player is a chap called Søren Koch, and this is his regular band - The Beatophonics. If you love 60s Beat music, do yourself a favour and have a listen. They are truly superb. open.spotify.com/artist/5W05FY5rERtVTBippPjold?si=nU5zM8gJSXONAGCWOUrTnA
