Abbott & Costello have always gone under the radar for me, likely because it was never a thing on Danish television, but I have read a lot about them and it is high on my list of things to watch.<br />TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-71673722383988603402022-11-05T14:42:07.516+02:002022-11-05T14:42:07.516+02:00Hello Soren.

I would recommend: Hold That Ghost, The Time Of Their Lives and Abbott& Costello Meet Frankenstein. Of course all their other full length features are great. And all their TV shows.

Fields.<br /><br />That said their iconic status is in my mind up there with Keaton and Chaplin. Laurel & Hardy were for the thirties what Keaton and Chaplin were for the twenties. And while I cannot claim I ever saw an Abbott and Costello film, Laurel & Hardy are as famous and iconic today as they were back then.TSorensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208153011927807857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2746502363551524682.post-75002188412873738492013-02-03T19:34:31.398+02:002013-02-03T19:34:31.398+02:00Sons of the Desert was also the Laurel and Hardy e...Sons of the Desert was also the Laurel and Hardy entry picked for the AFI Top 100 Laughs list.
