Another Columbia Joke Recycling Short
by boblipton2022-11-21
2/10

"El Brendel and Tom Kennedy, the two dumbest security guards in existence, look into a grave-robbing operation by a mad scientist. I enjoy Tom Kennedy frequently and El Brendel very rarely, but this one doesn't average my opinion about them. Given the way Jules White's short comedy unit at Columbia recycled gags, scripts and props, you could get a good idea of how good a comic someone was by comparing his behavior with some one else in essentially the same comedy. Unfortunately, here I couldn't be bothered, as both comics were too darned stupid for me to care about in this one...."

British film censors found the material in this film objectionable enough to award the short an adults only H certificate, a rating reserved for genuine horror films.
