4.0 out of 5 stars Slapstick and Sentiment, October 20, 2001
This review is from: Time Of Their Lives [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Lou Costello stars as a tinker who is mistakenly shot and killed as a traitor during the American Revolution, and then cursed to spend the rest of time until doomsday on the property where he died. Marjorie Reynolds is also trapped there with him as a ghost, and they develop a warm friendship as time goes by. The film fast forwards as a young couple restore the estate and move in, only to discover that the rumours about it being haunted are true. Bud Abbott stars as a visiting friend of theirs, a man who is a descendant of one of Costello's enemies. This is not a typical Abbott and Costello film, since they are not really teamed together, despite sharing some scenes, and it is also unusual because this film not only has the expected slapstick, but it also displays a lot of heart and sentiment. Costello and Reynolds are very effective as the unfairly accused traitors trying to put their pasts behind them (even after death), and Gale Sondergaard as the clairvoyant housekeeper is an excellent choice for that role. Fans of the duo and people who generally don't watch their films will want to catch this one because it will probably surprise them quite a bit.

5.0 out of 5 stars The time of their Lives, March 10, 2004
By 
This review is from: Time Of Their Lives [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I saw this when I was a kid and was facinated and enjoyed it immensly. It was a change from the slapstick comedy Abbott and Costello usually do. Costello is an intelligent man and I always hated when he was abused by Abbott. This was a movie that I would see a million times and am trying to get it on DVD
