(1941) 85min, 35mm
Two of three military comedies Abbott and Costello made with
fellow Universal Pictures stars the Andrews Sisters shortly before
the US entered World War II, In the Navy and Buck
Privates feature some of the team’s most memorable routines,
including a hilariously sloppy army drill and Costello’s classic
proof that 13 times 7 equals 28. In addition to the superb
slapstick, this double feature also boasts some fantastic musical
numbers, including a rare on-camera Lindy Hop dance sequence and
the Andrews Sisters debuting the Oscar-nominated jump-blues
standard "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy."
