Abbott and Costello
8 August 2021
Bronco Bob Mitchell is the star of the rodeo. His book makes him sound like a real cowboy. He may be a good singer but a poor horseman. Duke (Bud Abbott) and Willoughby (Lou Costello) are peanut and hot dog sellers at the event. They cause a problem which exposes Bronco Bob's deficiency and he's saved by cowgirl Anne Shaw. The boys get trapped while hiding from the boss. They all end up on a dude ranch.

It's a musical comedy. Abbott and Costello are in a lot of these where they are the comic relief in their own movies. They are good fun but I always wish that they are the subjects of the story. Instead, they do bits in their sections while the story happens around them. It would be more interesting if Abbott plays Bronco Bob. It's still plenty fun with their banter but they should be playing the lead roles.
