One of Their Best (2000-06-20)

Abbott & Costello star in this hilarious film set back in 1914 and while searching for a swindler named Gormon, end up in Hollywood. Would recommend for A&C Fans

Not Top Drawer, but Amusing (2000-04-26)

Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were nearing the end of their reign as Universal's top comedians by the time MEET THE KEYSTONE KOPS was made, and it did indeed seem as if the bottom of the barrel were being scraped to find ideas for the boys' films. While hardly a classic, KEYSTONE KOPS at least has an interesting concept that appears to be partly inspired by Lou's early career as a movie stuntman. There is more slapstick than usual for A&C, and a few hair raising stunts, which is appropriate for a comedy set in Hollywood circa 1912. Fred Clark gives the film a real boost as a swindler turned movie director; he is an excellent foil for Bud and Lou. Comedy legend Mack Sennett makes a welcome and all too brief appearance as himself. Keep an eye out for veteran Keystone comedians Herold Goodwin, Hank Mann, and Heinie Conklin. Lou's daughter Carole does a brief bit with her dad at the beginning of the film. Recommended for kids, die hard A&C fans, and anyone wanting to relax with some nostalgic nonsense.

ONE OF ABBOTT & COSTELLO'S BEST FILMS (2000-01-13)

Abbott & Costello go to Hollywood in search of a swindler and become movie stars. Ed Clark plays "GORMAN", a con-man who cheats the boys out of a small fortune, by selling them Thomas Edison's ORIGINAL movie theatre. The climatic chase scene is a MUST SEE, as the boys enlist the aide of the famous, bumbling Keystone Kops, and their attempt to ride a motorcyle with sidecar. Abbott & Costello at their FINEST.
