Abbott Costello
What Abbott & Costello movies should I get my grandpa for Christmas?
He’s staying inside more, especially because of the cold. With him living alone, he kind of started watching TV more. He’s not really that into TV, but he does like watching Lou Costello. He has In the Navy and loves it, but what other movies have some really goofy, hilarious scenes? I’ve seen a few, but I can’t remember which ones I’ve seen and which are funny. I’m too exhausted to think right now, and need to order them soon to get here by Christmas. Thanks!
I love Bud & Lou! I’ve collected just about all their movies over the years, but if I had to pick out my favorites, I’d go with:
- Abbott & Costello Meet The Killer – Bud & Lou work at a hotel and Lou is framed for the murder of a famous trial lawyer; I don’t think they do any of their famous routines, but there’s lots of their trademark wordplay and plenty of Lou’s slapstick.
- In Society – Plumbers Bud & Lou get mixed up with high society garden party and foil an art theft, doing the “Susquehanna Hat Company” routine along the way.
- Who Done It? – Aspiring radio show writers Bud & Lou get mixed up in a real murder mystery; lots of great gags, including the “Alexander-2222″ telephone bit
- Hit the Ice – Bud & Lou get mistaken for bank robbers and have to catch the real crooks to clear themselves; again, lots of great gags, including the “teller in the bank” routine and the handkerchief gag (“you stand on one end, I’ll stand on the other, and I bet you can’t hit me!”)
- Hold That Ghost – bookended by musical numbers by Ted Lewis and the Andrews Sisters (good or bad depending on tastes), lots of good routines and Lou’s frantic slapstick, as Bud & Lou inherit a gangster’s run-down old tavern.
Hope that helps!
