Hold That Ghost in Late 1941 Milton Berle Was Said to Have Quipped, "Things Are Slow in Hollywood
Those Slap-Happy Screamsters Go A’haunting! Saturday, October 23 at 2 & 8 pm only Abbott and Costello’s Hold That Ghost In late 1941 Milton Berle was said to have quipped, "Things are slow in Hollywood. Abbott and Costello haven't made a picture all day." And he was right. fter the smash success of their first starring feature,Buck Privates, (1941) burlesque and Aradio comics Bud Abbott and Lou Costello were the number one box office attraction in the country--and literally saved Universal Studios from bankruptcy. In fact, the only movie that outgrossed Buck Privates at the time was Gone with the Wind. Anxious to keep the team working, Universal Studios had already completed production on their next film, a non-music spoof of two popular film genres of the era--the Haunted House movie and Gangster melodrama--then titled Oh Charlie! (a reference to a running gag in the film where a dead gangster's body keeps turning up). But when the huge box office returns fromBuck Privates began rolling in, Universal temporarily shelved Oh Charlie! to put the team in an- other service themed follow-up, In the Navy. When they returned to Oh Charlie! , Universal discovered test audiences for the film wondered why the Andrews Sisters, who had been in the two previous hits, were absent in this one. So additional re-shoots were required to include the trio, now making it a horror/ comedy, with a couple of songs thrown in. The title was eventually changed to Hold That Ghost and became the third smash hit for Abbott and Costello that year, continuing a string of successes that would keep them among the top box office attractions for the next ten years and would also serve as the inspiration for another classic, 1948's Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT Twentieth-century American culture has been dominated by a preoccupation with image. The supremacy of image has been promoted and refined by cinema which has sustained its place as America’s foremost cultural and artistic medium. Vision as a perceptual mode is also a compelling and dynamic aspect central to Nabokov’s creative imagination. Film was a fascination from childhood, but Nabokov’s interest in the medium extended beyond his experiences as an extra and his attempts to write for screen in Berlin in the 1920s and ’30s, or the declared cinematic novel of 1938, Laughter in the Dark and his screenplay for Stanley Kubrick’s 1962 film version of Lolita. -

An international selection of artworks made for broadcast, the exhibi- tion documents the crossovers and collaborations that take place on this new television, between and among dancers, musicians, play- wrights, actors, authors, poets, and visual and video artists . And it investigates the artists' own investigation of one medium -- be it dance or music or literature -- through another . It examines the transformations video makes and the possibilities it allows . These provocative uses of television time and technology are organized in THE ARTS FOR TELEVISION according to the medium transformed by the electronic image ; the six categories are Dance for Television, Music for Television, Theatre for Television, Literature for Television, The Video Image (works that address video as a visual art, that make reference to the traditional visual arts and to seeing itself), and Not Necessarily Television (works that address the usual content of TV, and transform it) . The ARTS FOR TELEVISION also presents another level of collaboration in artists' television . It documents the involvement of television stations in Europe and America with art and artists' video . It recognizes their commitment and acknowledges the risks they take in allowing artists the opportunity to realize works of art . -

“Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” File
FEATURE PRODUCTION THE #1572 “ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN” FILE Part I he inspired idea of melding two of Universal’s most famous franchises had been kicking around the Tstudio for a few years, but it was producer Robert Arthur who got the chance to bring it to life. He gave the concept to a few screenwriters, including Oscar Brodney, Bertram Milhauser, and the team of Robert Lees and Fred Rinaldo. “The minute the studio told Fred and I the basic idea,” Lees recalled in Abbott and Costello in Hollywood, “we said ‘This is the greatest idea for a comedy that ever was!’ But that’s all they gave us. We came up with the rest.” Lees and Rinaldo, who had written Hold That Ghost (1941), came back with a promising treatment. Titled “Ab- bott and Costello Meet Frankenstein,” their first crack at the story was delivered April 21, 1947. It has most of the elements that will be in the final film: the boys are inept baggage handlers who deliver crates to MacDougal’s House of Horrors; the “exhibits” get up and walk away; Larry Talbot, on Dracula’s trail, persuades the boys to help him; there’s a Abbott and Costello Quarterly—7 FEATURE ” “THE BRAIN OF FRANKENSTEIN PRODUCTION # 1572 OCTOBER 1947 START DATE: FEBRUARY 5, 1948 CAST: BUD ABBOTT ...........
