Rio Rita

Read Reviews

The hilarious high jinks of comedy masters Bud Abbott and Lou Costello hit pay dirt in this wildly entertaining visit to the dusty little town of Vista Del Rio, Texas where romance is in bloom and Nazi spies are around every corner !

The bumbling boys get fired fdrom their jobs in a soda shop and decide to make their way to the Big Apple by hiding in the trunk of a car with New York license plates. Unfortunately, the driver, dreamy singer Ricardo Monters (John Caroll), is headed for a fiesta in a tiny South Texas town. After a long and exhasting ride, Bud and Lou find themselves mixed up in one of their most suspenseful and loony adventures ever, filled with Nazi spies, old flames, new friends, and a secret code book.

Artfully directed by S. Sylvan Simon, with delightful melodies co-penned by Harold Arlen (1939 Oscar winner for "Over The Rainbow") and co-starring gorgeous Kathryn Grayson, Rio Rita is pure enjoyment for comedy fans of all ages.
