Goodman <br /> <br /> Other Crew: <br /> <br /> Plot Summary: <br /> <br />At 90 minutes, "HERE COME THE CO-EDS" is one of the longest of Abbott and Costello's Universal starring vehicles. It manages to sustain a high comic content throughout. <br /> The scene is a financially strapped girl's college, where professional dancer Molly (Martha O'Driscoll) lands a scholarship. Molly's manager/brother Slats (Bud Abbott) has arranged this as a means to publicize his sister's showbiz career, which angers the college's chairman of the board (Charles Dingle), who threatens to foreclose on the school. To keep tabs on Molly and also find ways of raising mortgage money, Slats and his pal Oliver (Lou Costello) take jobs as school caretakers, immediately running afoul of ill-tempered groundskeeper Johnson (Lon Chaney, Jr.) One of Slats' schemes involves a championship basketball game, in which Oliver, hypnotized into thinking that he's petite female student "Daisy Dimple", effortlessy sinks one basket after another. What ultimately saves the college is a concert by Phil Spitalny and His All-Girl Orchestra, featuring "Evelyn and Her Magic Violin". <br /> <br /> ROUTINES & HILARIOUS MOMENTS: <br /> Jonah And The Whale <br /> Soup Routine <br /> <br /> Trivia (): (1)Lou Costello, in his youth a basketball player who specialized in dead-eye free-throw shooting, pumped in many of the shots himself during the film's basketball game.(2)This was the first of only two Abbott and Costello films produced by their writer John Grant.
