The Abbott & Costello Show on the Showboat! One of the greatest verbal comic banters of all time is performed here.
The Naughty Nineties (1946) : Brief Review –The Abbott & Costello Show on the Showboat! One of the greatest verbal comic banters of all time is performed here. Anything that many popular post-60s comedies have shown us was either inspired by the silent classics of Chaplin, Keaton and Lloyd or the talkie comedies of WC Fields, Marx Bros, and Abbott & Costello. The Naughty Ninties has given birth to many iconic comic segments that we have been enjoying for years. Be it the mirror segment (quite different from what Max Linder did in the 20s) or the Bear is loose segment, all those iconic gags can be found here. That “Who, what and I don’t know” segment is arguably the greatest verbal comic banter I have ever seen in the history of cinema. This film has been noted for that segment mostly. I mean, even I was curious to see the iconic “Who’s on First?” segment, and what I saw simply blew my mind. When their captain is swindled out of his riverboat by a trio of gamblers, stage show star Abbott and his bumbling sidekick Costello must put things right. The duo try to save the showboat with their tricks, but fail. In the end, as expected, they get it right, but before that it’s a complete knockout comedy riot. Costello rules the film with his signature gags, be they physical or verbal. Abbott, too, is in fine form with many good scenes on his side, while Alan Curtis wins your heart with his conversion. Rita Johnson as a female antagonist fits perfectly for the role. Whether it is her looks or behaviour, she is top-notch in every scene. Lois Collier, Henry Trevor and Joe Sawyer are seen less and don’t do anything notable. The Naughty Nineties is a pacy film with a fantastic screenplay and the flawless direction of Jean Yarbrough. There isn’t anything that you can hate about this, so it’s recommendable.
RATING – 7/10*

Abbott and Costello on the Showboat
It’s not surprising that Abbott and Costello eventually got to do a movie on a showboat. Remember it was only 8 years earlier that Universal Studios did their classic version of Showboat and I’m sure that Carl Laemmle, Jr. wanted to take advantage of the set that was still there.The Naughty Nineties in fact take whole characters from the Showboat plot. Henry Travers’s character of Captain Sam is a total ripoff of Captain Andy and Alan Curtis and Lois Collier make a passable nonsinging Gaylord Ravenal and Magnolia Hawkes. Collier sings, but there are no classic duets like in Showboat. And Curtis’s character is a riverboat gambler like Ravenal.
That being said the plot such as it is involves Rita Johnson and her two associates, Curtis and Joe Sawyer, gaining possession of Henry Travers’s showboat with which they then set up some crooked gambling to make a quick profitable kill.
Abbott and Costello are part of the Showboat crew. Abbott is an actor in the Victorian tradition and Costello is as usual a lovable all around klutz that Travers must be keeping around for laughs.
If it’s laughs Travers wants, he’s made a sound investment because the boys do provide the public with plenty of that. The Naughty Nineties is famous as the film they did their classic Who’s on First baseball routine. It had been done previously in their debut film, One Night in the Tropics, but in an abbreviated form.
Actually there is one routine involving poor Lou as he thinks he’s eating a cat, I mean the feline type cat.
Joe Sawyer joins a list of otherwise serious actors like Douglass Dumbrille, Lionel Atwill, and Lon Chaney, Jr., who got in on the comedy with the boys. Sawyer does his own version of the famous Niagara Falls routine involving him sleepwalking and he looks like he’s having a ball doing it. Sawyer makes a perfect foil for Bud and Lou’s monkeyshines.
And I think the audience will enjoy it as much as Joe Sawyer.
