The Naughty Nineties (1945)
The Naughty Nineties is a 1945 film starring the comedy team of Abbott and Costello. It is best known for its "Who's on First?" remake of the original skit. This particular skit from this movie is also shown at the National Baseball Hall of Fame. It was filmed from January 15, 1945 through March 1, 1945. The story follows the comedians in their efforts to help the captain of the ship, Travers, keep from losing his boat to some shady gamblers. Most of the comic material seems stale but this is one of the better 1945 films i have watched and it is also the first Abbot and Costello movie that i watched. The acting in this movie is great as i really loved the acting from Costello. I never laughed as much as i did in my life like i was during the "whose on first" skit. Abbot himself didnt particular do anything for me in terms of making me laugh. All in all this is a good 1940's film and the acting from Costello himself make it a must see for any comedy fan and also the Who's on first skit makes it a must see for baseball fans as well.
