Had to jump on my own pick... 1940s comedy from the era of Saturday morning Matinees...my father, born in 1939, told me that when he was a kid they'd see TWO 90 minutes films, a 15 minute "short" (3 stooges or Buck Rodgers etc) several Looney Tunes cartoons along with a Newsreel for a 4 hour+ morning away from parents....5 or 6 kids aged 8-10 would jump on the subway, head to an old theater, grab lunch at the automat and then play stick ball in the afternoon if it wasn't raining and head home at dusk for dinner

Fun fact even though Bela Lugosi is most famous for playing Dracula this is only the second official time he played the character on screen.

If you're curious about seeing more Bela Lugosi check out Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932), Island of Lost Souls (1932), The Black Cat (1934), and Son of Frankenstein (1939).

There was a whole series of these movies, A&C Meet the Killer (Boris Karloff), A&C Meet the Invisible Man, A&C Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, A&C Meet the Mummy, and A&C Meet Captain Kidd. I used to watch them on our local TV channel that showed old black and white SF and horror movies in the afternoon after school.

In NYC in the 1970s they played these on Channel 11/WPIX every Saturday morning from 1130am -100pm just before the NY Yankees games (Channel 11 was their "home station") so I'd watch all of the movies you cited above- eat late breakfast from 1230-100pm in front of the TV after fighting with my parents who tried to make me eat at the kitchen table with them, and then my father and I would watch the ball game...

Actress Jane Randolph- the blonde- played Joan Raymond, an insurance investigator in many of the regular Universal Monster movies...

Omg - what a fantastic pick for a Friday night! (Thank you A.L.!)

i love all the universal horror so these a&c movies are also on my list to watch thanks so much for this reaction

Sammy Fan

So glad you picked this. It's so much fum.

Clare Manion

I love that story! For someone from the Midwest like me, it’s practically a New York fairy tale (meant in the best way).

Abbott and Costello were some of the biggest stars during WW2 raising over $80 Million in War Bonds sold during a one month tour in 1942. They were considered civilian heroes since after Pearl Harbor the Pacific battles were rough and the money they raised provided key funding at the turn of the tide for the US Navy.... They starred in a bunch of military slapstick/recruiting films as 2 idiots drafted into service, an Army film, a Navy film and an Army Air Force film...there films had the Andrew Sisters and various major stars This film here was listed on the AFI top 100 and the Library of Congress' Film Registry

Before swim meets I would listen to old time radio shows on my Walkman and Abbot and Costello was one of my favorites. (I fear this makes me sound very old 😜) But I've never seen one of their movies. It really threw me that they were playing themselves but their characters weren't named Bud and Lou.

I think this means it's the official start of Spooky Season. 👻

Of course someone named "actuarial" would choose a movie about insurance fraud 😜

Clare Manion

Post-watch: This movie is such a delight! I don’t know why, but about half way through, when they’re discussing former dates, the line “yours had teeth” always gets me 🤣 Speaking of comedy duos, did you guys ever happen to see ‘The Road to Morocco’? It stars another famous comedy duo - Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. Absolutely bonkers in the best way 😆

Ryan

He was great as Karloff’s sidekick in The Invisible Ray.

Boris Karloff did not play the monster in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948) because he said he was too fond of the monster to watch anyone make a joke out of him. Even though he refused to act in the comedy, Karloff actually helped promote the movie. As a favor to Universal Pictures, he agreed to pose for publicity photos. He only had one rule for doing the press: the studio had to pay his hotel bill, and he did not have to watch the final movie.

That sounds like a blast! I never had anything like that growing up.

Youtalkingtome

It would have been just fine of they had been named Bud and Lou in the movie!

Joe and Kevin: Unfortunately I did NOT get any of the old style movie theater experiences that my father had EXCEPT that the RKO Keiths theater was nearby- it was built in 1928 and despite being A National Landmark was torn down recently after it sat in disrepair and illegally remodeled by a crooked developer. When it opened it was a combined movie theater and vaudeville stage and Bob Hope, the Marx Brothers, Mae West, Jack Benny, Judy Garland and Milton Berle all performed there That's where I saw the original release of Star Wars in 1977 when I was 11...it still had the 1920s decor with chandeliers and a sweeping staircase but it smelled of old uncleaned fabric and mold so was already in decay and was closed down in 1986. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RKO_Keith%27s_Theater_(Flushing,_Queens) https://www.flickr.com/photos/8095451@N08/albums/72157613883728776/

Just looked it up: Karloff refused to be in this film since he thought mixing it with comedy tainted the reputation of the horror film franchise...after he saw the film respected the genre with A&C dropped in as a bunch of idiots and his fellow monster characters playing "straight horror roles" he agreed to promote THIS film at publicity events even though he wasn't in it and DID appear in their later film "A&C meet Boris Karloff" but played a Svengali like swami rather than as the Frankenstein monster

My dad was born in 1940 and grew up watching this too, thanks for picking. He was in his mid-40s when I was born hence me being a number of years younger than Actuarial Lurker (based on what he's said in threads in other movies) even though my dad was about the same age as his.

Ben Gilbert

Hope can be hit or miss. He did some good work in the 50s, but his best work was in the 30s and 40s with pictures like The Cat and the Canary, the Road pictures with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour, The Lemon Drop Kid, Ghost Breakers, Paleface and Son of Paleface, and My Favorite Blonde. He was a popular host for the Academy Awards back before they were televised.

Youtalkingtome

Wow, That's amazing. I had no idea they had that kind of impact
