Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $3.00
I ordered this dvd from another seller listed with Amazon. I ordered this dvd on Oct. 19th. To date i still have not received it. I have sent several emails to the seller and to Amazon and have had no contact from the seller yet. I will never order from a seller listed with Amazon again. If i can't get it directly from Amazon, then i guess i just don't need it.

2.Time Of Their Lives starring: Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Marjorie Reynolds, Binnie Barnes, John Shelton directed by: Charles Barton March 07, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.75
In the early 1940's Bud Abbot and Lou Costello produced many many 'b' films for universal. The usual pattern was that bullying Abbot and Child like Costello somehow get involved with mad scientists, gangsters and adventurers concocting wild schemes. Prat falls and chases are their stock in trade. This film however was a break from that pattern and the effect is magic. It starts in Revolutionary New York where Lou is a struggling tinker and Bud the major Domo for a Tory land owner. This seems pretty much in their usual patter but in short order Lou is mistaken for a British spy and along with the lady of the mannor murdered and cursed. Time passes and their ghosts, trapped by the curse, are doomed to linger on the grounds of the manor until they can prove their ... Read More

7.Abbott & Costello: Hit the Ice starring: Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Ginny Simms, Patric Knowles, Elyse Knox directed by: Charles Lamont, Erle C. Kenton March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.99
Made at the height of Bud and Lou's popularity, "Hit the Ice" is a very fun time for fans. Set during winter in Sun Valley, there are some great routines mixed with some of their best slapstick in this one. Flash (Abbott) and Tubby (Costello) are a couple of photographers who get duped into helping with a bank heist when a gangster named Silky (Sheldon Leonard) thinks they're the two guns he's sent for. Of course the boys have to find the real crooks to avoid jail and it's off to the slopes in Sun Valley. Patrick Knowles is a doctor being duped by Silky and Elyse Knox is the nurse who suspects something is amiss and tries to warn him. Once in Sun Valley, Tubby goes goofy about lovely Marcia (Ginny Simms). Simms was very popular during the early 1940's and does a lovely job on several songs. Her charachter, ... Read More

There is a plan to catch those responsible for killing O'Hara, the manager of Tommy Nelson. The skits are funny, but you can see the boys are older and less active. The story continues with drama and comedy. Invisible Tommy will punch Rocky in the ring. But Tommy leaves the ring to listen to Morgan. He returns in time to win the fight for Louie. ... Read More

9.Rio Rita starring: Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Kathryn Grayson, John Carroll, Patricia Dane directed by: S. Sylvan Simon January 27, 1993
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $26.95
For what it's worth, "Rio Rita" (1942) is actually the first of Abbott and Costello's three films for MGM, while "Abbott And Costello In Hollywood" (1945) is the last. (The second was 1944's "Lost In A Harem.") All three are quite good - in some ways better than the more famous films the duo made for Universal - and well worth a look by anyone whose idea of GOOD comedy is something more substantial than Adam Sandler or Will Ferrell, whose popularity will forever be a source of mystery to me.

10.Abbott & Costello: Naughty Nineties starring: Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Alan Curtis, Rita Johnson, Henry Travers directed by: Jean Yarbrough March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.73
Perhaps not their best movie but a favorite of A&C fans because it contains some of their classic routines, including the "Who's on First" bit. There is also a great schtick where Lou is looking through a porthole, his face covered in shaving cream, and Joe Sawyer looks out, also lathered up, and thinks he's seeing his own image in a mirror. The weird thing is they don't look anything alike. The picture has something to do with the boys working on a riverboat and getting involved with gamblers, but the plot is its least important concern. The ending is classic A&C slapstick shenanigans. Fun to watch.
