Although this film is usually overlooked, it is important in

Abbott and Costello's careers, and Ron Palumbo gives it the attention

it deserves. No one is a better guide to Dad and Bud's work.

-Chris Costello


Universal thought it was making a romantic comedy set to the music of Jerome Kern. It turned into a tour de force by Bud Abbott and Lou Costello that paved the way for their prolific film careers. Through meticulous research and exclusive interviews, Ron Palumbo takes you into the executive offices and onto the sets as he examines every ingredient of this landmark film-from the source novel to the songwriters, cast, crew, and the remarkable origins of the film's classic Abbott and Costello routines (including Who's On First?). And that's only the beginning.
