Film Synopsis:
Comedy legends Bud Abbot and Lou Costello perfected their most famous routine ever, "Who's on First?" in The Naughty Nineties. Set in the 1890s, a ham actor (Abbott) and his dim-witted assistant (Costello) set sail on the Mississippi showboat, the River Queen. When the boat docks in St. Louis, the boys try to rescue Captain Sam (Henry Travers) from a poker game with three card sharks but are too late. The gamblers win a controlling interest in the River Queen and - to Captain Sam's dismay - set up a crooked casino operation on board. As the duo attempts to rid the showboat of the villains, they find themselves in a series of hilarious missteps that showcase some of the most hilarious moments ever captured on film!
Cast: Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Alan Curtis, Henry Travers
Produced by: Milton Feld, John Grant, Edmund L. Hartmann
Directed by: Jene Yarbrough

There is a reason why Who’s on First? became Abbott & Costello’s signature routine. The two of them got so good at performing this skit that they could lengthen or shorten it on the fly, and the two of them would play off each other as naturally as if they had rehearsed everything beforehand.

the funny thing is, when you break it down slowly and examine the words for grammatical accuracy.. the whole thing holds up perfectly. It is the easiest thing to do - slipping up - especially during the bits with the most cadence, and yet they deliver it without a single deviation. This is an education in setting up an extremely funny premise and using it to produce a tight, accurate and edge of the seat comedy.

@Y-two-K Год назад

Actually, I think the Retired Actors is best, because they naturally adjust their performance with the reaction of the live audience. Abbot even turns to address the crowd at least once. That recording is also the result of doing the routine over so many years.
