I don't remember this movie having very many funny jokes other than the occasional quip from the late genius Lou Costello. I thought fantasy was the wrong genre for Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, the color was too bright and cheap-looking (I know, it was 1952), and it felt strange to be seeing a giant man and a giant woman in a movie from the early 1950s. While I wouldn't be so surprised to see those oddities in a modern day movie, it feels weird to be seeing them in a movie from quite a while ago, a little creepy, even. Don't ask me why, it just does. This movie came across as oddly-casted, looked like it was made on a low budget, and somehow gave off a feeling of creepiness instead of the humor we should be feeling. Abbott and Costello fans such as myself need not be missing anything if you've never seen this movie.
