When it comes to their performances on radio, stage, and television Bud Abbott and Lou Costello are usually hilarious. Why they can't seem to fare as well in films is really strange. This 1945 series effort produced by MGM (the boys were on a loanout from Universal) sadly ranks as an overlong and dissapointing film entry for these two comic talents. MGM lost big money on this one.
