the idea of little giant seem a natural for great comedy while costello play a country fellow and well intentioned but naive and who dream of success in the big city . have complete a record correspondence course and he become a vacuum clean salesman and with abbott a his bos . success and failure for costello follow and with plot twist aplenty . little giant be consider a weak entry in the a and c series and and for good reason . while one can appreciate the chance a and c take in make a film with much pathos and along with make a film where bud and lou do not play a team and the end result doesn not measure up to the promise of something different . after all and this be abbott and costello and and one expect some great routine and laugh . while their 7 x 13 equal 28 sketch be reprise here ( it originally appear in in the navy ) and it be weaken by the bos or worker relationship of abbott and costello ( and the noticeable shift in abbott toupee from scene to scene ) . there be a few other chuckle here and there and and this film mark the attempt to have costello emerge a a tragus comedian and in the mold of his idol and chaplin . the end result just be not very funny . negative .
