Costello without Abbott

Garbage collector Artie Pinsetter (Lou Costello) gets the ire of Uncle Raven Rossiter (Gale Gordon) while he's trying to do a TV program. Artie has been spending a large sum of money for radio parts while dating Uncle Raven's niece Emmy Lou Raven (Dorothy Provine). He has built a computer robot of sorts. Emmy runs into a cave and turns into a growing giant.

It's stupid non-sense. I love that she's playing around with tiny things. There are a couple of fun jokes. Attack of the 50 Foot Woman is the year before. This seems to be spoofing that movie which is already campy itself. They did miss an opportunity by making her the 51 foot Woman. The main drawback is actually Emmy Lou. I don't like her. She seems high maintenance. Costello could also be funnier. He needs more jokes in the writing. There is a whole section of time traveling nonsense that isn't funny. This needs a bit more work.
