![Abbott And Costello: Pardon My Sarong/Who Done It? [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51FP5-BwSsL.jpg)
A double bill of classic Abbott and Costello comedy capers. 'Pardon My Sarong' (1942) is Abbot and Costello's version of '40s Hollywood's slightly xenophobic view of Polynesia - with beautiful, compliant natives who worship the white god washed up on their shores. Lou and Bud are bus drivers who end up on a Polynesian island. There, they stand up to the local hard man, encourage young lovers, dance the local dance with pretty girls, are pursued romantically and, finally, end up saving the day by rescuing a sacred stone that is the village's heritage. Visually, it's a fruit bowl and the songs and comedy routines are classic Abbott and Costello. 'Who Done It?' (1942) is an Abbott and Costello romp in which they play Chick Larkin and Merv Milgrim, a pair of café workers with big dreams of writing radio whodunit programs. When they start making inroads in this field, however, things go awry. The station owner is murdered during a broadcast and they're suddenly in the frame. This was the first Lou and Bud film to not feature musical numbers but that only left more room for their comedy schtick.

for Abbott and Costello fans only
Quite a lively romp for anyone that can tolerate this pair, with a few of their decent routines. a tad too many song and dance numbers in Pardon my Sarong, but a welcome total absence in Who Done It. surprisingly good visual quality

pardon my sarong
What a thrill to see this old movie again and in good quality more so with it been in black and white,to me the black and white films have that bit more mystery about them that makes them more watchable.

pardon my sarong
An enjoyable, if dated, film. The humour is slapstick but there is a wonderful scene where some chefs and waiting staff do some marvellous tap dancing. Enjoyable and light hearted.

I had to return the DVD, it wouldn't play on my player because of some foreign properties in the DVD itself. I still want this but can't find one that will play. :-(

Abenteuer Komödie und Krimi Slapstickkomödie
Erste Film ist Abenteuer in Südsee mit viele witzigen Szenen, zweite ist Action Krimi Slapstickkomödie in einem Radiosender.Ich kann sicherlich sagen dass fast alle Filme mit Abbott & Costello amüsant, witzig und mit viel Spaß sind. Ich kann sie oft mit zwischen 3 bis 5 Sterne bewerten.Bei einigen gibt es vielleicht weniger Action sind aber musikalisch, unterhaltsam und witzig.Mein Favoriten sind aber:1_Abbott and Costello Meet the Invisible Man (super interessant)2_Hold That Ghost3_Africa Screams4_Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff5_The Time of Their LivesEinige ihre Filme habe ich noch nicht gesehen...Ich kann die Filme mit Abbott & Costello sogar nur mit englischem Ton weiter empfehlen.
