Africa Screams is a 1949 comedy film starring the team of Abbott & Costello (Bud Abbott and Lou Costello) and featuring Clyde Beatty, Frank Buck, Shemp Howard, Joe Besser, Max Baer and Buddy Baer. The film is notable for having two members of the Three Stooges (Shemp Howard and Joe Besser) working together in a non-Stooge vehicle.

In the film, Abbott and Costello play a couple of book sellers who are conned into traveling to the jungles of Africa to find hidden diamonds for a woman, along the way, meeting a visually impaired gunner (Howard), a hungry lion, and a tribe of cannibals, among other dangers.

The film was originally released theatrically by United Artists. It is currently in the public domain. A colorized version was made available by Legend Films in 2006—the film had never been colorized before.
