If you loved Abbott and Costello Go to Mars, try Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Meet the Invisible Man

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Charles Lamont, and they both carry the 3am cult, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Abbott and Costello Go to Mars, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

Boxing ring, late show, a bell. Mumbling chumps Wilbur and Bud bungle into a bizarre case: a fugitive prizefighter injects himself with a serum to evade the law. Universal leaned hard into horror-comedy team-ups by then.
