Bud Abbott and Lou Costello in Hollywood
A double-barrelled fun birst!
A lighthearted, fast-paced comedy romp through 1940s Hollywood built on slapstick humor, mistaken schemes, and the warmth of underdogs helping a friend succeed.
When two bumbling barbers act as agents for a talented but unknown singer, they stage a phony murder in order to get him a plum role.
