Arthur Lubin directs this FUNNY 1941 Abbott & Costello vehicle. Bud and Lou with their stunt pilot friend Dick Foran enlist in the US Army Air Corp (now known as the US Airforce). The best highlight of the film is comdieanne Martha Raye who portrays twin waitress. 5 STARS again to Mr. Lubin and the UNFORGETTABLE Abbott and Costello.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another A&C Winner--Plus Martha!
This rollicking comedy isn't as tight and inventive as the classic "Buck Privates" but it's still hilarious. But what helps this really zoom along is the marvelous Martha Raye. She portrays twin sisters--one quiet, demure, the other more like the real Martha--boisterous, funny, earthy. The highlights of this comedy is when Martha sings and dances and one of the best rock numbers ever recorded is her finger-snapping "Big Foot Pete" number, with a terrific boogie-woogie beat. This number was nominated for an Oscar as best song. Martha has been nearly forgotten today but she should be revered as one of film's most endearing and talented stars.
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Classic Costello!!
They did it once again. I remember sitting down for Sunday dinner when I was 4 years old and Abbott and Costello would come on. They kept me there for hours. Now I had to get the one I never saw and I am glad I did. This really brings back memories. A definate buy!! I miss the old days.
