Product Description

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello deliver their "usual high quota of laughs" (The Hollywood Reporter) in this hysterically funny slapstick farce that boasts some of their most beloved comedy bits, such as the immortal "Mudder and Fodder" routine! Window washers Ted Higgins and Homer Hinchcliffe (Abbott & Costello) are mistaken for messengers and sent to collect $50,000 by a gangster who runs a gambling syndicate. But Homer inadvertently mails the cash to a woman (Cathy Downs) who spends it before they can track her down. Faced with a thirty-six hour deadline to come up with the gangster's dough, the desperate trio must act quickly or it'll be their necks!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Abbot / Costello Movie, April 13, 2004

By	J. Reynolds (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Noose Hangs High [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was a solid A&C film, the plot dealing with $50,000 stolen by some bad guys. A post-WWII comedy, when the nation was in the mood for light-hearted, non-heavy entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Side splitting humor, March 8, 2000

By	Ron Willett (Walnut Shade) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Noose Hangs High [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I laughed so hard just watching my younger brother laugh it was great. This was the scene where Abbott kept telling Costello to put on his pants to an immediate take them off. This went on for several minutes. Great team humor. It does not exist any more. One of the boys better films.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF ABBOTT & COSTELLO'S BEST FILMS, October 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Noose Hangs High [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Charles Barton does fine job directing this classic A & C film. The plot is very simple. Mistaken identity leads to complications with the boys getting robbed of a large sum of money. This film teams the duo with another popular film comedian at the time - Leon Errol. He plays the role of J.C. (Julius Ceasar) McBride, a compulsive gambler who NEVER loses. The BEST highlight of the film has Errol filling in for Abbott as he and Costello perform the classic A & C routine "MUDDER AND FODDER". Again 5 STARS to Bud and Lou for keeping generations and generations of fans laughing all these years.

You might be disappointed in the gags, which are all rehashed from earlier films. Other than that, Bud & Lou are always great.
