Originating during the science-fiction/Red-Scare boom of the '50s, Invaders From Mars is an entertaining little picture that holds up reasonably well.

Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd (1952) more movies like this

directed by Charles Lamont
featuring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Charles Laughton, Hillary Brooke, Bill Shirley

Though out of favor with many Abbott and Costello buffs, Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd is actually a lot of fun, so long as the viewer parks logic and dignity at the door. Captain Kidd is played by no less than Charles Laughton, who reportedly agreed to sign up for this film because he wanted to learn how to perform a comedy double-take. ...
