{"product_id":"0671765911391-africa-screams","title":"Africa Screams","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBud Abbott and Lou Costello temporarily leave their usual Universal stamping grounds to star in this Huntington Hartford production, Africa Screams. Costello plays the colourfully inept Stanley Livingstone, a meek book salesman who poses as a big-game hunter at the behest of his shifty pal Buzz Johnson (Abbott). It's all part of a scheme to extract some money from adventuress Diana Emerson (Hillary Brooke), who intends to search for a lost diamond mine in the heart of Africa. It seems that Stanley has committed to memory a long out-of-print book which contained a map of the mine. Despite his mortal fear of wild animals, Stanley accompanies Buzz, Diana, and Diana's henchmen on the African expedition. The subsequent comic complications involve a legendary giant gorilla, a cannibal tribe, and a friendly orangutan which falls in love with Stanley. Animal trainer Clyde Beatty and big-game tracker Frank Buck make cameo appearances while character comics Shemp Howard and Joe Besser provide laughs as, respectively, a nearsighted gunman and a sissified flunky. Also on hand Max Baer and Buddy Baer, the famous boxing brothers, who engage in an amusingly unconvincing display of fisticuffs. But the film belongs to Abbott \u0026amp; Costello, who are in fine form.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56438441542006,"sku":"0671765911391","price":4.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_1507701_1334907_jpg_8e952975-9d87-4f4f-841f-ab8063b55e37.jpg?v=1760367454","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0671765911391-africa-screams","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
