One of the worst Abbott and Costello films. It's a boring drag of a movie to sit through. I didn't laugh once but the movie seems less interested in comedy than adventure and romance, both of which are weak at best. Dreadful songs as well. Beautiful Hillary Brooke's career was on a downward slope here and it shows. Charles Laughton appears to be having some fun as Captain Kidd. Unfortunately, I didn't really have fun along with him. I wish I could point to one thing and say "remove that and you have a good picture" but unfortunately I can't. It's just a poorly made unfunny comedy with bad songs and way too much focus on everybody who isn't Abbott and Costello. For A&C completists only.
