A&C at their peak
Having returned to Universal following MGM’s somewhat disappointing “Rio Rita,” Abbott and Costello get back on track with “Pardon My Sarong,” sort of their version of the Hope-Crosby “Road” pictures.A&C play Chicago bus drivers, who through a series of funny machinations, end up on a tropic isle with evil Lionel Atwill. There are many funny moments both at sea and on the island.
If there are people who don’t like Abbott and Costello, it is probably because they don’t like Abbott’s often callous treatment of Costello. While this is part of their characterizations, and is often funny, the screenwriters went admittedly overboard in “Sarong.” While Virginia Bruce does stand up to Abbott on Costello’s behalf several times, one tasteless gag includes Abbott matter-of-factly giving Costello a gun to shoot himself! Such gags have limited the duo’s appeal over time, but if looked upon broadly, “Sarong” is a funny film and shows A&C at their peak, which ran roughly from 1941 to 1945. 7 out of 10.
Bud and Lou get away from their wartime specific comedies for a change
Hit comedy from Universal Pictures and director Erle C. Kenton. Chicago bus drivers Algy (Bud Abbott) and Wellington (Lou Costello) end up on a yacht with Tommy Layton (Robert Paige) and Joan Marshall (Virginia Bruce) that’s participating in a trans-Pacific race. They go off course and end up on a mysterious tropical island with a tribe of natives who fear a haunted cave. Also featuring Lionel Atwill, Leif Erickson, Samuel S. Hinds, Nan Wynn, Marie McDonald, Janet Warren, Eddie Acuff, Sig Arno, Charles Lane, and William Demarest.One knows what to expect from an Abbott & Costello movie, and this one delivers more of the same. After their run of successful military service comedies, this started a new run of parodies of different genre conventions, and this was meant to emulate the hit Road movies with Hope & Crosby over at Paramount. It was a good call by the producers, as this ended up being one of the biggest hits of 1942. It’s silly, with occasional chuckles here and there, but mainly Costello yelling a lot and doing slapstick. There are a few musical numbers, and a lot of “island” girls in skimpy outfits.
