VHS Movie Reviews of Abbott & Costello: Mexican Hayride [VHS]

Movie Review: Unusual Story for a Comedy
Summary: 2 Stars

This film begins with a background painted to look like a stadium. Two American policemen are looking for suspects. There is a joke about garlic. We learn about a swindling racket. The bullfight begins. The crowd yells "Ol?". Who will become the Amigo Americano? There is a joke about identity. Another joke with a fast-talking reporter. Are there tell-tale initials on clothing? "Silver or what?" Can a fragrance bring peace? Humphrey reads a speech. There is a plot about selling phony stocks. Songs provide a break from the plodding story. "I'm doing this for love." Will a ruse find the location of the cash? Will they catch Humphrey?

Will a food peddler help Lambert to escape? Yes, as a comedy. There is more comedy from a Mariachi musical group to pad out the story. Humphrey and Lambert are in disguise. Soon there is a chase. "I've never seen clowns like this." Who will dance to the music? Who gets the hat? Will the return of the money fix the problem?

This was based on a Cole Porter Broadway play. Was this a good idea? I think it was a mistake and not as funny as other comedies (like "Meet Frankenstein"). A story and script make a good movie. A&C forfeit sympathy as swindlers, but are funny as the swindled. Does the word "hayride" refer to some kind of swindle? [Did Marilyn Monroe have a small part as one of those four girls?]
