Product Description

Synopsis

For their first independently-produced vehicle, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello chose to appear in a remake of the 1939 Universal programmer For Love or Money. Bud and Lou are cast as Ted and Tommy, two bumbling window washers hired by gangster Mike Craig (Joseph Calleila) to collect a $50,000 gambling debt. The boys manage to pick up the money, only to deliver it to the wrong person, a pretty private secretary named Carol (Cathy Downs). Ordered to retrieve the money within 24 hours "or else," Ted and Tommy trace the cash to Carol, who has mistakenly distributed it amongst the entries in a mailing list. As our heroes desperately concoct methods of escaping Craig's wrath, eccentric gambler Julius Caesar McBride (Leon Errol), the man who "never loses," comes to the rescue. Despite its seeming complexity, the plot exists merely as a peg on which to hang several of Abbott and Costello's best routines, including "Bet you 10 dollars you're not here," "Hole in the Wall," "Packing and unpacking," "Getting Arrested," and, best of all, "Mudder and Fodder." Beyond the seven credited actors, the huge unbilled supporting cast includes such reliable laugh-getters as Benny Rubin, Murray Leonard, Elvia Allman, Herb Vigran, Fred Kelsey, James Flavin, Lyle Latell, Isabel Randolph and Paul Maxey. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

4.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Abbot / Costello Movie, April 13 2004
By J. Reynolds (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Noose Hangs High (VHS Tape)
This was a solid A&C film, the plot dealing with $50,000 stolen by some bad guys. A post-WWII comedy, when the nation was in the mood for light-hearted, non-heavy entertainment.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE FUNNIEST A&C!!, Dec 17 2001
By Sea Wasp (Hooterville, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Noose Hangs High (VHS Tape)
My favorite A&C film. The boys are window cleaners mistaken for messengers by a gangster who offers them money to collect a parcel for him. Needless to say, Bud & Lou foul up and the rest of the movie is spent trying to get back the gangsters missing money. This film is nearly all A&C routines and they are all hilarious. The "Mustard" routine, the "I Can Prove You Ain't Here" bit, "Mudder and Fodder," plus a whole lot more. There is also a funny (crazy) dentist in Lou's "Toothache" segment and Leon Erroll is great as Julius Caesar McBride....a big-time gambler. This movie is one big laugh from begginning to end. I've watched it many, many times and I still love it! Definately worth checking out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Side splitting humor, Mar 9 2000
By Ron Willett (Walnut Shade) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Noose Hangs High (VHS Tape)
I laughed so hard just watching my younger brother laugh it was great. This was the scene where Abbott kept telling Costello to put on his pants to an immediate take them off. This went on for several minutes. Great team humor. It does not exist any more. One of the boys better films.
