Jack and the Beanstalk
APR 7, 1952 · 78 MIN · DIR. JEAN YARBROUGH
Two down-on-their-luck loafers take a job babysitting, with a bedtime story of the titular tale turning into a wacky Abbott and Costello-faced musical retelling involving stolen cows, terrible giants, and the heroic boy with an opportunistic butcher in a castle above the clouds.
