  • 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.

Defendants defend the district court’s fair use ruling, and further argue that dismissal is supported, in any event, by plaintiffs’ failure to plead a valid copyright interest. We here conclude that defendants’ appropriation of Who’s on First? was not a fair use, but, nevertheless, affirm the challenged judgment on defendants’ alternative invalidity ground.
