Title: Movie scene in Fin House - Abbot and Costello? Post by: JJWX on October 14, 2017, 07:13:20 AM I remember seeing a portion of a movie as a kid, I think it was Abbot and Costello. A few scenes involved a Fun House of sorts, I rememebr they entered a room by going down a slide. Any ideas? I would think this would be easy for an A&C fan.

Well, I think that'd be me, as I believe I have seen all the films A&C made together, and the film you may be thinking of is 1956's Dance With Me, Henry, the last film in which both A&C appeared, as it takes place in a theme park owned by A&C called Kiddieland. A warning, while I enjoyed it, it is regarded as one of the weakest entries in the A&C series. Title: Re: Movie scene in Fin House - Abbot and Costello?

Title: Re: Movie scene in Fin House - Abbot and Costello? Post by: JJWX on November 11, 2017, 06:25:51 AM Actually no (hence the question mark after Abbott and Costello). Similar era though, and a zany comedy like theirs.
Title: Re: Movie scene in Fin House - Abbot and Costello? Post by: 316zombie on November 11, 2017, 02:40:50 PM i recall a movie like that, i think it was 2 brothers that were the comedians... let me think on it.

Most of their films are only for fans of Abbott and Costello. Though, here are 4 of their films that (IMHO) are worth watching, even if one is not a fan of Abbott and Costello. Buck Privates Hold that Ghost The Time of their Lives Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein I would also add to these four, Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. While not as "good" as the previous four, it has always had a place in my heart. 1st It was the 1st Abbott and Costello film I ever saw. 2nd It has the great Boris Karloff as the villain. 3rd It has (IMHO) one of the great comedic chase scenes at the end of the film. And . . . 4th For someone who's humor is absurd, there is a classic example in the film, when Costello gets turned into a giant mouse, scaring both man and mice across London, while Abbott remains oblivious to what is going on.

Title: Re: Movie scene in Fin House - Abbot and Costello? Post by: JJWX on July 09, 2019, 04:12:14 PM Good suggestions, I'll start looking. Zombie, I'm glad we move at the same pace!

There were 3 Ritz Bros., if my memory serves me....Title: Re: Movie scene in Fin House - Abbot and Costello? Post by: 316zombie on July 10, 2019, 01:15:32 AM entirely possible, and i'd trust your memory over mine when it comes to movies, RC. you don't have a head filled with recipes and cooking methods that get in the way sometimes. there are times when i can't quite reach the trivia vault...does that make any sense?
Title: Re: Movie scene in Fin House - Abbot and Costello? Post by: JJWX on July 10, 2019, 03:32:12 PM Note that, in spite of my reference to A&C, I don't know for sure if they were in it, a different duo, a trio... it could have been a group of individual comedians. I just remember a fun house full of doors, and a woman enters one and goes down a short slide. She may end up in some kind of cart, or mine car. And I sure wish they'd let me change the title of thsi thing from 'fin house' to 'fun hose', I might get more hits.
Title: Re: Movie scene in Fin House - Abbot and Costello? Post by: 316zombie on July 10, 2019, 08:22:59 PM fun hose would get you more hits around here for sure, lol!
Title: Re: Movie scene in Fin House - Abbot and Costello? Post by: RCMerchant on July 11, 2019, 05:56:57 AM Could have been Hope and Crosby. I ain't seen all of their ROAD pictures.
