| Lost in a Harem | comment |
Lost in a Harem is the second of three films that Abbott and Costello made for MGM, having been loaned to the studio by Universal to do so. It was released in 1944.Peter Johnson (Abbott) and Harvey Garvey (Costello) are a couple of performers in a traveling vaudeville show that gets stranded in the Middle East. After causing chaos in a local café that sees the two and their troupe's singer Hazel Moon get arrested, they're freed by Prince Ramo, who requests the trio's help in retrieving a pair of hypnotic cat's-eye rings being used by his uncle, who has stolen the throne of their native city, so Ramo can reclaim the throne for himself. Naturally, hijinks ensue. | |

| Lost in a Harem / int_1086f287 | comment |
Sure, Let's Go with That: When they meet Bobo, Peter and Harvey say they're just a couple of scouts. Bobo misunderstands this as Hollywood talent scouts, who can get him into the movies. They decide to roll with it, and he gladly helps them as a result. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy | |
| Lost in a Harem / int_4508b16b | comment |
The Guards Must Be Crazy: Bobo, the guard that Peter and Harvey meet when heading to the palace, is easily fooled into thinking the pair are a couple of Hollywood talent scouts. Later, he still thinks they're talent scouts and agrees to help them when they say they can only take him to Hollywood after getting Hazel out. | |

Never Say That Again: As part of the "Slowly I Turned" routine, the derelict goes murderously berserk when hearing the word "Pokomoko" (even from himself), because it's where he fought and killed the man who stole his wife and son from him. | |

Royal Harem | |
| Lost in a Harem / int_600571df | comment |
Royal Harem: Nimativ has a harem of thirty-seven wives (whom he calls on to do dancing routines for him as well as, presumably, other services), and is intent on having Hazel as number thirty-eight. Peter and Harvey end up in their living quarters later to try and rescue Hazel, despite men being forbidden in there. | |

Gale-Force Sound: While Peter and Harvey are sleeping in a tent with a bunch of Prince Ramo's followers, one of them snores loudly enough that he keeps blowing another man's beard in Harvey's face. Even tying a bag of weights to the beard can't stop it from being blown over. | |

Stage Magician: Peter and Harvey's act at the Café of All Nations is as a pair of stage magicians. Unfortunately, they aren't very good at it, and the audience hates their performance (in part because Harvey keeps insisting on doing the same trick, covering two items with a pair of identical canisters and "magically" switching them back and forth, over and over again). | |

Unfortunately, Nimativ manages to see through the disguise. Later, Harvey disguises himself as Teema, one of Nimativ's wives, to distract him while Peter steals the hypnotic rings. | |

Clingy Jealous Girl: Nimativ's earlier wives are not interested in having another woman join them, and gladly try to help Peter and Harvey get her out in return for a promise to get them into the movies (having been falsely told that the two men are Hollywood talent scouts). Nimativ himself is a male example, as he gets violently jealous at the thought of any man being near his wives. | |
