Starting as burlesque acts, Abbott and Costello joined and made one of cinema's greatest comedy teams. With Abbott the straight-man and Costello the perennial bumbling troublemaker, one is sure to find brilliant comedy throughout their oeuvre. Although they were made famous by their "Who's on First?" act, it was by their films that they should be best remembered.

Abbott and Costello might fill a small spot in the expansive history of comedic teams - but to those who explore their filmography, I envy your first encounter with these masters.
