1952: Abbott &Costello Meet Captain Kidd

Hillary Brooke

as "Capt. Bonney"

Aye, Cap'n Bonney, she's a mean lass...

A bonny beauty, but she just as soon cut a man's throat as look at him...

The Taller WOman sexually intimidates the Little Man, mocking him: "Oh, here's the great lover..."

"Do you think I could make you forget this other woman?"

Letting the little man know she means business...

A kiss he'll never forget...

"Won't you come in?"...

Aye, Cap'n Bonney's a man-handler...

She's a man-clubber too...

A significant portion of Hillary Brooke's career was spent towering over Little Lou, but usually in a kindly-maternal fashion... Here's she's uncharacteristically rough and physically aggressive... A Tall, Strong Woman no man can control...

1952: Abbott &Costello Meet Captain Kidd

Anonymous Glamazons

A man ignorantly sings "A Bachelor's Life's For Me..."

But the Women want to educate him...  He can't escape them...

"The world is full of women, sir..."

"Who will make you pie-eyed sir..."

He tries to run away, but can't escape the Imposing Glamazons...

Surrounded by Overwhelming Femininity...

They draw guns and shoot him down...

So much for the bachelor's life...

Yet another example of a family musical number portraying the Battle of The Sexes, where invariably the man loses... You have to figure a lot of young boys went to see Abbott & Costello movies in the 50s, and what does this song have to do with the movie? A&C aren't in it, it doesn't advance the plot... What then is it's function? "Entertainment." Or is it "Education?"
