BUCK PRIVATES 1941 (UNIVERSAL)

This is the first feature film for Abbott and Costello and it was a HUGE hit.

Bud and Lou are two sidewalk salesmen who peddle their goods without a license and in order to escape the police accidentally register in the Army.

The policeman who is always after them turns out the be their Sgt. in basic training. Bud and Lou have tons of hijinks in this fun little film that really managed to show off their talents.

There are plenty of sight gags and very funny dialogue to keep the viewer laughing. The drill marching scene is a classic. Nat Pendleton is perfect as Sgt. Michael Collins and he and Bud Abbott work very well together.

Director Arthur Lubin handles the film well as he always did and the rest of the cast includes Lee Bowman, Jane Frazee, Alan Curtis and The Andrews Sisters.

Another highlight of the film is the Andrews Sisters singing "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy Of Company B". A classic if there ever was one. This is a highly recommended comedy classic.
