Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd is a 1952 American comedy film directed by Charles Lamont and starring the comedy team of Abbott and Costello along with Charles Laughton, who reprised his role as the infamous pirate from the 1945 film Captain Kidd. It was the second film shot in SuperCinecolor, a three-color version of the two-color Cinecolor process that utilized an Eastmancolor negative, as Cinecolor did not offer three-color origination, only two-color origination via bipack.
