DIR Jean Yarbrough

CAST Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Barbara Brown

Synopsis

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello star in this children’s film, which begins with Jack (Abbott) reading the titular fairy tale to a spoiled brat (David Stollery). Jack soon nods off and finds himself cast in the role of his fairy-tale namesake, who takes the family cow to the local butcher (Costello). The butcher swindles Jack with the magic beans, which sprout into a giant stalk that the pair climbs, encountering a man-eating giant along the way.

Subpar, but silly and fun Abbott and Costello film that wasn't made at Universal. Kids will love it nevertheless.
