Tonight's Stinker: The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock(1959)

Tonight's Stinker The 30 Foot Bride of Candy Rock(1959) https://youtu.be/6ciAPmIEbY4?si=n-4Cpdo5pDCO3rsy Lou Costello is a scientist who's just built a tiny supercomputer..... Unfortunately, he has to pay for it by driving a garbage truck, which also not fully paid for.... Meanwhile, the local bank owner, who owns half the town & holds a lien on the other half, is running for governor... He's trying to suck up to a TV talk show host by putting up a front as the nicest guy in town, which he has a hard time holding up...... Another problem the banker has, is warning the men of the town not to go near his niece, who's already secretly dating Costello... Costello & the girl sneak out to a mesa so he can try out his computer on natural radiation (or something), but after an argument, she storms off into a radiation cloud & comes back thirty feet tall.... When Costello tries to tell the banker, he misunderstands, believing his niece is pregnant, and orders the pair be secretly married... Mayhem continues to ensue as Costello tries to keep his new bride happy while the banker tries to protect his campaign.... Bud Abbott is not in this movie, & I think it works out better for it, as I've never found the pair all that funny.... This film got quite a few chuckles outa me.... Thumb up!
