Past Their Heyday

Except for A&C Meet Frankenstein, this group is limp by comparison to their earlier work from the 1940s. The films are still okay to watch. If you hadn't seen A&C Go to Mars, the following is a SPOILER, so stop reading here. I hadn't seen Mars since I was 12 and always felt the end was cruel when Costello kisses the innocent girl (Jackie Loughery) and the queen's curse ages her to 100. In my recent viewing I realized at the end that the Queen lifts the effects of the curse which, I assume, means the girl returned to her youthful beauty. Great to see Bruce Cabot in Lost in Alaska. I guess my problem with this group is that I can see the potential of each film if Universal really got behind the projects. Apparently they just relied on Bud and Lou's reputation to sell these movies which is unfortunate. July 11, 2008

Great Buy

This DVD was a great buy. It was packaged in mint condition and unopened.
I was very happy I bought it. May 21, 2008

Buy it before they cant be found anymore

This was exactly what I was looking for. In this day of anime violence and off-color innuendo in kid's programming, I have been picking up DVDs of entertainment from my own childhood to share with my grandchildren...and they love it!!! April 21, 2008

Great!

I love Abbott and Costello. Their movies are hilarious especially this one.

Thank you March 18, 2008

Abbott and Costello: Volume 3

I have loved Abbott and Costello since I was a little girl even though they were through making movies by then. So I really enjoyed this DVD of eight of their movies very much. I think I prefer volume 2 a little better but I still watch one of their movies every day. They are very up-lifting and clean. March 12, 2008
