During Halloween time, this film is shown to my students. They've never heard of this comedy team, let alone it being a black and white film. It can get bothersome dialogue-wise for the kids, but the emphasis is that it is telling a story, so don't depend on lots of special effects.The antics of Lou Costello make a 21st century group of kids laugh...timeless slapstick routines that are truly becoming a lost art. The added bonus of Bela Lugosi as the Count make for a hilarious afternoon viewing.
Some of the jokes have stood the test of time and will cause a chuckle or two. This is great for Halloween afternoon or right before your scary movie presentation.
