Aw, Shucks…

The guy's gone and corrected the eBay listing, which was for an 8mm print of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein wrongly identified as Laurel and Hardy Meet Frankenstein. It was not only a great typo, it was a great concept for a movie. They could even have used some approximation of the same script, casting Jimmy Finlayson as McDougal (the guy who owned what he thought were wax statues of Frankenstein and Dracula) and maybe Mae Busch in Lenore Aubert's role. And don't think we could never see this. It would not surprise me if one of these days, the technology of computer imaging reached the point where it was possible to "create" a performance by some real actor and use it in constructing a movie. I'd like to see them start by taking George Lazenby out of On Her Majesty's Secret Service and putting Sean Connery in. Where he should have been in the first place.
