1953's Abbot and Costello Goes To Mars has a misleading title. They got to Venus instead. Though the film had a relatively large budget, the film's plot is not saved and the special effects are average B-Movie effects. The film was definitely one of A+C's wort of all time.
The ending is at an all time worse, where the Venus women are attracted to Bud and Lou after they were defeated in a war against the females. What a plot, eh?
While this is one of the worst A+C films ever, A+C are not to be blamed. They were going through a fanatical problem with the government, which could have very well ruined their careers. The budget is not to be blamed since it was rather high, and the sets were rather lavish (especially for a B-movie!). What couldn't be saved, however, was the plot, which needed to be edited much further than it was. It was an interesting concept, but it was done without heart. A+C's talents were wasted.
