Harvey Korman is not bad as Abbott but what the heck is Buddy Hackett doing? His voice is exaggerated. His timing is off (especially during "Who's on First"). Korman can't do the timing right when his partner us sooo slow. I did this routine with a partner. While we could never touch the real team, we were certainly better than these guys. The odd thing is that Hackett once substituted for Costello in the film "Fireman, Save My Child. " What a disgrace!
Another thing. Why isn't Betty Abbott in this movie?
The way they treated Abbott's epilepsy was fairly well done. I gave epilepsy myself. While it goes not seen as bad as Abbott's. It still is a cross to bear.
This was a missed opportunity. I think it's time for someone else to do a biography of the team. Only this time they need to do it correctly!
Can simple history be correct? Their first movie was NOT a starring film in "Buck Privates" but a supporting role in "One Night in the Tropics"
I saved the worst for last. The.way they treated Costello was terrible. Sure we heard he had done some poor things about him but there has to be some balance!
