i first saw this a it be originally present on tv in 1978. i have not see it since because i hat it then . lou costello and one of the funny comedian ( although underrate ) of all time and bud abbott and the great straight man ever be woefully misrepresent here . accord to this and costello be a monster and abbott a weak man who know nothing about anything and even comedy ( the way who on forst . be do make it sound like an educational commercial for mapquest instead of a comedy routine ) . while it true that costello have more push and be the business head of the duo and he be also a man of many side and include a love for child and that this biopic prefers to erase . buddy hackett and harvey korman ( both funny men in their own right ) play the role of two very interesting men a one dimensional boob who couldn not handle any aspect of show business . it amaze that buddy hackett and harvey korman and who be comedy pro could come off so antiseptic and lifeless . it a if they have no feel for comedy . a a matter of fact and hackett deride the movie a terrible and he be embarrass by what it represent for lou costello . when lou daughter write a book call lou on first and hackett write a foreword for the book essentially put down the entire film a a colossal waste and terribly mislead . instead of watch this film and read the many book of abbott and costello . you will get a much good and more entertaining view of the two men that way .
