Use a make-up table with everything close at hand and don’t rush; otherwise you’ll look like a patchwork quilt. – Lucille Ball
Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work – and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t. – Lucille Ball
(About Audrey Hepburn) She’s a tomboy and a fine comedienne. You’d never think of her being able to do my type of comedy. But she can. She has great energy, frail as she looks. But, well, she’s so beautiful, so ethereal, it would be sacrilege to put her through it. – Lucille Ball
Once in his life, every man is entitled to fall madly in love with a gorgeous redhead. – Lucille Ball
One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’ t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself. – Lucille Ball

Women’s Lib? Oh, I’m afraid it doesn’t interest me one bit. I’ve been so liberated it hurts. – Lucille Ball

You see much more of your children once they leave home. – Lucille Ball

Bud Abbott Lou Costello Meet Frankenstein.

My husband and I watched a couple of Abbott and Costello movies last night. There are few things any better than kicking back with Bud and Lou! One of the movies was Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein is one of my favorite Abbott and Costello movies – it always has been. However, I must say, is this one of the most inappropriately named movies of all time or what? Of all the “monsters,” Frankenstein is onscreen the least. And he certainly doesn’t have much to say when he is. I can only assume that Frankie was big at the time, so they went with Frankenstein over Dracula or the Wolf Man, both of whom are onscreen a lot more.
Title aside, I love everything about this movie. When you sit down to watch an Abbott and Costello movie, you do so with the intentions of leaving everything behind – work, chores, headaches, news, politics, crazy drivers, and so on. You have to just let yourself have fun and enjoy the laughs – you also have to remember that this particular movie was made in 1948, so the effects are going to be…. well, there’ve been more realistic effects on Scooby Doo.
But, I’ll be honest with you, they’re part of what makes this movie (and all classic movies, as far as I’m concerned) so special. I wouldn’t change a thing about this movie – not even the title, because in its own way it’s part of what makes Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein stand out.
Monster movies were HUGE for Universal Pictures in the 1930s. Then the ’40s rolled in with one of the greatest duos of all time, Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein was the first of several movies that combined the “monster hits” (literally) and the much loved Abbott and Costello films. The success of this particular movie led to Abbott and Costello teaming up with the Invisible Man, Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, and The Mummy.
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein features a wonderful cast. Count Dracula is deliciously played by Béla Lugosi. The Wolfman is brought to furry life by Lon Chaney Jr., and Frankenstein is played by veteran monster Glenn Strange.
At the end of the movie, watch (and listen) for an appearance by the Invisible Man. You’ll recognize the voice as that of Vincent Price. This was actually before he went on to superstardom.
Plot:
Count Dracula’s beloved monster, Frankenstein, needs a new brain. The Count is adamant that the new brain has to belong to a simpleton – someone without a drop of malice. Guess what simpleton is hand-picked for the job: Lou Costello’s Wilbur, of course! Bud Abbot’s Chick, along with the Wolfman, have to save Wilbur and keep his brain where it belongs – in his own head.
Lou Costello is at his best in this movie. He’s absolutely hilarious and offers countless laugh out loud moments.
Trivia:
Quotes:
Chick: I don’t get it. Out of all the guys around here that classy dish has to pick out a guy like you.
Wilbur: What’s wrong with that?
Chick: Go look at yourself in the mirror sometime.
Wilbur: Why should I hurt my own feelings?
Larry Talbot (Wolfman): You don’t understand. Every night when the moon is full, I turn into a wolf.
Wilbur: You and twenty million other guys.
Chick Young: You’re making enough noise to wake up the dead!
Wilbur Grey: I don’t have to wake him up. He’s up.
