5.0 out of 5 stars lots of creative comedy scenes, March 4, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Abbott & Costello: In Society [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Abbott and Costello create another winner as two bumbling plumbers trying to work their way into society bathrooms. This movie has a lot of whacky physical humor balanced by a good story.

There is also a special effects error in this film that most people don't notice. Watch the car chase carefully during the part where a car is hanging from the ladder truck. At one point you will see that car defy the law of gravity.

This review is from: Abbott & Costello: In Society [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This movie starts out as one of the best Abbott & Costello feature films...it kind of falls flat at the end though. The first 3/4 of the movie is fast paced with some of their funniest routines. The highlights are when they try to fix a leaky faucet & one of their funniest routines ever...also just by itself worth purchasing this film...the Susquehanna Hat Company...fabulous. Everytime I see that routine it cracks me up...a true classic. Overall this is a very good movie...the last 25 minutes could've been better though.

This review is from: Abbott & Costello: In Society [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Another great Abbott and Costello comedy. Really funny and fast moving and contains one of THE funniest comedy rountines EVER:"The Susquehanna Hat Company,"which is perfectly performed by all involved, making it a true comedy classic! Surely this sequence influenced a few Monty Python rountines. But the rest of the film is a riot also, with a truly spectacular fire truck chase (parts of which were re-used from a W.C. Fields film). Only drawback (as with many A&C & Marx Bros.movies): too many songs. But don't let that scare you. Just skip by them. The rest is hilarious, silly fun!
