Gausman <br /> <br /> Costume Design by: <br /> Vera West <br /> <br /> Other Crew: <br /> Edgar Fairchild.musicial director <br /> <br /> Plot Summary: <br /> <br />Dexter Broadhurst is a handsome stage actor and Sebastian Dinwiddle is a worker on a Mississippi river boat in the 1890s. Card sharks win the river boat from Captain Sam Jackson in a card game and change it into a floating gambling house. The boys try to help the Captain regain ownership of the boat by beating the card sharks at their own game. <br /> <br /> ROUTINES & HILARIOUS MOMENTS: <br /> Who's On First <br /> Fishing Routine <br /> Cat Burger <br /> Roulette Table <br /> <br /> Trivia (from imdb.com): (1)Contains the famous "WHO'S ON FIRST" routine. The routine began life as part of Abbott and Costello's burlesque act, then it debuted in their first film "ONE NIGHT IN THE TROPICS" (1940), though none of the previous incarnations were as lengthly as the one in this movie. <br />(2)The only baseball defensive position NOT mentioned in the "WHO'S ON FIRST" routine: Right Field.(3)The scene of Abbott and Costello doing their classic "WHO'S ON FIRST" routine is run continuously at the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. It is regarded as the best version of this routine in existence.(4)Listen closely during the "WHO'S ON FIRST" routine. The laughter that can be heard faintly belongs to the film crew and director. After numerous takes trying to eliminate it, the power of Abbott and Costello to elicit laughter during this sequence proved too strong. The director had no choice but leaving the giggling in.(5)Lou Costello recycles the "Lifesavers Candy" routine Groucho Marx used in the Marx Brothers' hit "HORSE FEATHERS"(1932).(6)The boat used as the show boat "River Queen" in this production was also used as the "Cotton Palace" in "SHOW BOAT" (1936). <br /> <br /> Goofs (from imdb.com): Anachronisms: The movie is set in the 1890s, but several of the "period" songs played were written in the 1900s. Revealing Mistakes: At one point in the "WHO'S ON FIRST" routine, Costello forgets Abbott's character's name (Dexter Broadhurst): he say, "Stay on third base, Misterrrrr" and quickly glances off-camera while someone obviously mouthed or wrote the correct name, as Costello hurriedly says "Broadhurst". *Viewer Reviews* Perhaps not their best movie but a favorite of A&C fans because it contains some of their classic routines, including the "Who's on First" bit. There is also a great schtick where Lou is looking through a porthole, his face covered in shaving cream, and Joe Sawyer looks out, also lathered up, and thinks he's seeing his own image in a mirror. The weird thing is they don't look anything alike. The picture has something to do with the boys working on a riverboat and getting involved with gamblers, but the plot is its least important concern. The ending is classic A&C slapstick shenanigans. Fun to watch. Back To Top
