I let the kids enjoy the movie over the course of two days. The essay, 11th grade, as well as an easier one for the 8th grade, was to identify changes in technology (including transportation and comminication) between 1780. Year the movie took place, 1946, the year the movie was made and today. In addition the kids had to discuss the impact the changes had on the U.S. and the world. This was one essay they didn't mind doing. It also made A and C fans out of many of them.

The way Abbott was always taking advantage of Costello is so funny. Not sure exactly when I started watching them. Probably as a young girl and my father introduced them to me. As I am pretty sure my mom would never have liked them. She would have thought they were too stupid to watch. I know I don't have all their movies on DVD but I do have enough to keep me entertained for a few hours. I have about 30 of their movies. I wish we had more movies like these and the Marx brothers. The movies coming out now are terrible. To much cursing in them and violence and sex. Thanks Bud and Lou for what you gave us, laughter.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17754532376723309556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-2329284992171166482021-08-18T20:08:21.980-07:002021-08-18T20:08:21.980-07:00Since when is death lovely or a great and exciting...Since when is death lovely or a great and exciting experience?

You must be a Trumper. Who's gonna pave your highways, pay teachers, police officers and Fire Men-where will the money come from? You think people will willingly donate 40% of their income to the government in lieu of taxes? Americans paid FAR more taxes pre-1980s then they do now, they were paying over 70% of their income for decades before Reagan came into office.SlimKeithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15176069623503246887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-81636600383255839842021-04-29T15:09:43.985-07:002021-04-29T15:09:43.985-07:00When my sisters and I were kids back in the 50'...When my sisters and I were kids back in the 50's, we loved watching their movies. We always looked forward to watching the Abbott and Costello cartoons. Then time passed and other things happened and they were forgotten. I don't know why but I decided to do a search for Lou Abbot and Bud Costello just recently. I never knew until now how their popularity declined because of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis but also due to overexposure which I fault their managers. If left in capable hands, they would have continued, perhaps not as popular but still be able to continue with their style of comedy. Their lives were so tragic. Lou dying at a mere 52 and Bud slipping away and forgotten both penniless. Thank you Abbot and Costello for giving us laughter in our lives so many years ago.Rememberinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781443245137599564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-30245988698232658902021-04-05T08:08:28.923-07:002021-04-05T08:08:28.923-07:00No, he was never worth 50 million, he has in the 9...No, he was never worth 50 million, he has in the 91% tax bracket and never took home all the money he earned, He was also not making 2 million a year either. He also gambled, drank, smoked. He gave money away to friends and put a lot into the Lou Costello Youth Center, so much the city of LA had to take over it's budget and Bud and Lou were not making enough to support it and their families.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16234446193003045334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224037410105354251.post-58590965153198353772021-02-24T09:16:56.373-08:002021-02-24T09:16:56.373-08:00I seen them for the first time when i was 15 and t...I seen them for the first time when i was 15 and they are by far the best duo i have ever seen.

My Mom tried to recall if he had any friends or relatives that were called Bud, but came up with nothing.
