Abbott And Costello Meet Jerry Seinfeld (1994)

Stars:

Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Jerry Seinfeld

This is an important documentary done by a great fan of Abbott & Costello. This portrait of the boys is more than just clips & more than just an homage to them. Seinfeld found the things that inspired them to start with. He mentions the history of vaudeville that A&C were all about and how they preserved this comic history. He also showcases how they ad-libbed their routines which is rarely done by today's folks who are all reading cue cards & teleprompters. Some of the clips, especially from the old TV A&C television show, The Colgate Comedy Hour & the home movies of the boys themselves is priceless.
