Abbott & Costello: In Society

Buy This Item Abbott & Costello: In Society by Universal Studios  Available from Amazon  $14.98  on 10-4-2008     Another great Abbott and Costello comedy. Really funny and fast moving and contains one of THE funniest comedy rountines EVER:"The Susquehanna Hat Company,"which is perfectly performed by all involved, making it a true comedy classic! Surely this sequence influenced a few Monty Python rountines. But the rest of the film is a riot also, with a truly spectacular fire truck chase (parts of which were re-used from a W.C. Fields film). Only drawback (as with many A&C & Marx Bros.movies): too many songs. But don't let that scare you. Just skip by them. The rest is hilarious, silly fun!
