Comment/Synopsis
Abbott and Costello accidentally launch a spaceship,accidentally land in New Orleans but then forced to fly to Venus by a pair of escaped criminals. The comedy is typical of Abbott and Costello and is not subtle. As with their other films there are some good comic moments and some weaker areas. The scantily women of Venus were actual competitors in a Miss Universe competition.
