Jack and the Beanstalk

Jack and the Beanstalk, and adaptation of the famed fairy tale, is constructed along the lines of The Wizard of Oz with the film beginning in black and white and turning into color. While Jack (Costello) is a professional babysitter, and Dink (Abbott), his agent, are on the job Jack falls asleep and dreams he is part of the classic fairy tale. Jack climbs into a fantasy world inhabited by a giant, a shady butcher, a gold egg-laying hen, a singing harp and a distressed prince and princess. An Abbott and Costello laugh classic.
