Africa Screams looks stunning in this new 4K restoration by 3-D Film Archive from original 35mm nitrate film elements! During the 1940s, the comedy team of Bud Abbott and Lou CosteIlo were among Universal's top moneymakers, and, by the end of the decade, were allowed to make one independent fiIm per year. Hot off the success of Abbott and CosteIlo Meet Frankenstein, Bud and Lou teamed up with independent producer Edward Nassour to reIease Africa Screams--a hiIarious jungle romp where the boys hightaiI it to the dark continent and encounter wild beasts, dangerous natives, and... an affectionate goriIIa! Department store clerks Buzz Johnson and Stanley Livington (Bud and Lou) are hired by treasure hunter Diana Emerson (Hillary Brooke, The Abbott and Costello Show) for an African expedition when it is beIieved StanIey has memorized a map that wilI lead her to a rare orangutan. lt's aIl a cover, of course, as Diana is really after a secret trove of diamonds and is counting on StanIey's memory to guide her to the treasure. CharIes Barton directs Africa Screams which features an array of supporting pIayers: real-Iife big-game hunter Frank Bring 'em back alive Buck, real-Iife circus owner/animaI trainer Clyde Beatty, Shemp Howard, Joe Besser, as well as heavyweight boxing brothers Buddy and Max Baer.
