Steve D 06/27/2023 Forgettable but entertaining. See more 05/07/2013 One of the duo's greatest features, a classic with gags galore and some of the duo's classic routines. A must see for comedy fans. See more 02/04/2012 one of the better films from the famous comedy duo See more 01/26/2012 Pure hilarity, one of my favourite Abbot and Costello vehicles. The musical numbers can be a bit tedious but they're worth sitting thru to get to the comedic gold. See more 10/16/2010 Always entertaining but not especially noteworthy among better career achievements, this Abbott and Costello comedy finds the duo at a snowy mountain resort in search of the gangsters in charge of the crime they've been framed for. A lot of time is spent on Ginny Simms and her musical numbers and there isn't nearly enough screen time for Tubby and his straight man to develop any hearty laughs, but the few sequences of uninterrupted gags- particularly towards the end- make the movie worthwhile. See more 10/20/2009 Abbott and Costello are mistaken for hitmen by a gangster and are hired to aid in a bank robbery. Only tho duo are sought by the cops for the crime, so they attempt to blackmail the gangsters while on the run from the cops. Funny final chase scene in the snow! See more Read all reviews
