This is the last performance of Lou Costello and a rare one in that he is without Bud Abbott. The film is not without charm in that Costello is endearing as is Dorothy Provine, who plays his blushing bride Emmy Lou Rossiter. Costello is Artie Pinsetter, the last independent businessman in town, rubbish collector and closet inventor. When his malfunctioning robot invention makes Emmy Lou 30 feet tall, hilarity ensues...especially as the U. S. military is out performing drills in the area.
I would only recommend this to the mort hard core Lou Costello fan as it isn't the best film overall...but it denotes some interesting historical moments in his life, his last film made roughly two years post his sons death and while he was being investigated by the IRS.
I will say I loved the final scene with the dog...it was a great way for Costello to exit stage right.
