Witty repartee takes on new meaning as the identities of the plumbers and the cabbie remain a mystery to the high-stepping guests. Nonetheless, all are the recipients of some unforgettable humor, from trips into the pool to the famous stroll down Bagel Street, smashed straw hats and all. When the highbrows finally do discover their party crashers' true selves, they learn a lesson in humility after convicting the poor fellows of a crime they didn't commit.
Music and merriment combine to make "In Society" one of the most entertaining Abbott and Costello films ever made. If you are not careful, you might just split your pipes laughing.
