Down on their luck Abbott & Costello manage to find jobs as caretakers for an all girl school. Because of scandals and publicity the owner of the school threatens to stop funding so the school can go under. Abbott & Costello place a wager on a basketball game between their school and the undefeated champions school hoping to win enough money to save the school. In the meantime they have some incredibly funny scenes. Including when they first arrive at their room in the school and are told to clean it up, Costello manages to find himself in a very "sticky" situation presenting itself as one of the funniest scenes in any of the Abbott & Costello classic...also not to be missed Costello recreates one of the most popular 3 Stooges scenes in which Curly wrestles with some raw Oyster soup...Costello does fairly well in his imitation. Overall this picture is one of their best...a must have for any Abbott & Costello fan.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A very funny comedy from the 40's
This may not be prime A&C but its pretty darn close. There are many classic routines here including the oyster in the soup, the Little Red riding Hood story (AKA Jonah & the Whale), and a long set piece where Lou destroys a kitchen. The film also benefits from having a great heavy: Lon Chaney Jr! This one also has more action than usual with a hilarious girls basketball game and a great and bizarre climactic chase. The best part of the show is when Lou wrestles Lon Chaney. You will laugh!
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good Not Great. In this film, Abbott & Costello get Abbott's sister enroled in an all girls school.The guys are brought along as caretakers. The best performance is from "The Man with A Thousand Faces" Lou Chaney. Some fair gags but not their best.
