Do you remember Abbott and Costello?
Abbott and Costello are one of the greatest comedy teams of all time. Their flawless comedic timing and sharp humor made them stars of film and radio for decades. The duo released dozens of films between 1940 and 1956. Their movies often had over the top or downright ridiculous plots and themes, but their effortless performance kept the characters grounded and believable no matter the setting. Abbott and Costello movies ranged from visiting an African safari to stepping into Dracula’s castle. There was, however, one constant. No matter the story or the setting, these two comedy legends always made the audience laugh. Check out our look at how Abbott and Costello changed comedy here.
