Bud Abbott and Lou Costello at the Vintage Library
From the vaudeville and burlesque stage through radio, movies and finally television, Abbott and Costello were one of the top comedy teams. Lasting over 21 years as a team, their peak occurred during 1940s with a string of successful movies.
Following a typical vaudeville pattern, Bud Abbott was the abrupt, smart, bossy straight man. Lou Costello was the lovable clown who would win out in the end. Through the comedic genius of Lou Costello this team separated themselves from the pack and created some of the most memorable comedy of the 20th century including their famous "Who's on first" radio skit and their box office smash movie Buck Privates. Or watch one of our favorites The Time of Their Lives.
Never off color or raunchy, the comedy easily finds a place today and their fan base continues to grow generation after generation. With a huge resurregence their works are once again readily available.
Enjoy once again some of the great comedy of the 1940s!
