Abbott and Costello were the most popular comedians of the 1940s,
with burlesque-inspired routines that enthralled audiences on both
radio and television. Oddly, their films have not received the same
level of attention from critics and writers as those of other
comedy teams. This book is a scene-by-scene, film-by-film guide to
their movies, making a compelling case for their inclusion at the
very top of comic artists. Featuring new research and some
surprising revelations, the book introduces newcomers to the
delights of this uproarious team and provides confirmed fans with
the ultimate companion to their work. Also included is a foreword
by John Landis, the celebrated director and Abbott and Costello
devotee.
