Abbott & Costello in a chilling comedy. This is one of the better put together Abbott & Costello movies from beginning to end. Even the songs were amusing, especially the finale song. A good movie to watch before the Christmas season, kind of gets you in the feel. Overall not their funniest but a very enjoyable movie and very good plot. Check it out.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very funny Abbott & Costello comedy Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are sidewalk photographers who get mixed up with bank robbers and wind up at a ski resort. This film has the famous A & C verbal humor, and plenty of visual comedy, too. Lou's mishaps on a skating rink are amusing, and a frantic chase finale has Lou turning into a giant snowball! The supporting cast features Sheldon Leonard as the criminal mastermind, and fans of '40s music will enjoy vocalist Ginny Simms. If you saw this on TV years ago, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the print quality of this edition. Replicating the original theatrical viewing experience, the tape includes two coming-attractions previews (the first trailer is the only segment boasting less-than-superior quality), and you'll also see a Woody Woodpecker cartoon and a documentary short about exotic birds. A fine show from Universal.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - AND THEY DO , WITH HILARIOUS RESULTS Another of the duo's BEST ventures. A & C play newspaper photographer who are accidentally mistaken for hitmen by mobster Sheldon Leonard and his gang. Filled with many clever sight gags and highlights including the apartment house fire and Lou's struggle to learn to ice skate this will make a good piece for anyone's video library collection.
