Includes all time classics such as Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, In the Navy and Buck Privates. This 13 disc box set marked the 70th anniversary of the formation of one of the most popular and respected partnerships in comedy history. The collection includes all time classics such as Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, In the Navy and Buck Privates. Bud Abbott (the tall thin straight one) and Lou Costello (the short fat clownish one) officially got together in 1936, and after achieving huge success with radio sketches, they moved into films in 1940. Modern day legend Quentin Tarantino has listed the duo’s works as some of his favourite films in several interviews.
