A Delightful Trip To The 1890's!, 28 August 1999
10/10
Author: J. Watko (jwljn@aol.com) from Pittsburgh, PA

Although not critically acclaimed as one of the team's best, Abbott and Costello use some of their best loved and remember skits in this film. The movie is worth watching for the "Who's On First?" skit alone. Good, clean, fun for the entire family.
