I had just finished rewatching a number of old movies that I grew up with as a child in the late 59’s and 60’s and… whenever they came on as reruns the whole family would watch. Of all the comedians I grew up with and even still now, these are definitely my favorites. As a child I absolutely loved “Jack and the Beanstalk” and many… others. Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. I missed this one but enjoyed taking a trip down memory lane 25 years ago. Absolutely wonderful and Lou was truly an American inspirational artist. Thank you so much for sharing some of these priceless memories again with us all. Much love and appreciation from California! ❤️🌈🍀🙏🏻😇😇🙏🏻❣️

Born in the 40’s, my sentiments exactly! My Dad, if alive today, would be 103 and introduced us to this great comedy team! He had the same sense of humor as Mr Costello😊😂

What a fantastic video. I have been to Paterson many times living about 15 minutes away. I knew that Lou Costello was from Paterson. It's nice to see all the sites where Lou lived, went to school and church and hung out. I am only now really appreciating how great Lou Costello was as an artist and as a person as well. It was nice when his granddaughter mentioned her Uncle Butch who tragically died just before his 1st birthday. I have always loved Abbott and Costello, watching their movies and their TV show. Lou Costello was such a loving, giving person. He was just a great person who happened to be very talented. On KZbin there is also a video of Lou's home movies which is also great to watch.

They were beyond great. Thank you for this. I am a huge fan. For me it was their TV series and the supporting actors, and the Colgate Comedy Hour shows.

Great video. Thanks

What a fantastic documentary. Great information especially concerning the early lives of Bud and Lou. And what better way than to hear it directly from family member, Lou Rege, interviewed during the video. Loved the story about Costello’s mom sneaking into the burlesque show to see Lou perform when women weren’t welcomed. Magnificent work putting this documentary together. Thank you, Mr. Larry Harrington.

The best Abbott and Costello "lookalikes" can be viewed here on You Tube "The Legends of comedy presents Abbott & Costello" the best A&C tribute artist of them all by far. Enjoy.

I hope and pray that another A&C Convention can be held in March,2036.

Atrocious.

[@halholbrookspussy]

What year is this from? 1980 - something?

[@joelesser2550]

It's copyrighted in 1998, which is about right. I was there and it was fun. I wish they'd had more of them.
