Little Giant (1946)

Comedy highlights? The "13x 7=28"  skit.  Abbott with a mustache playing a look alike "Cousin"

Unlike most Abbott and Costello comedies, Little Giant doesn't contain song interludes, romantic subplots or an exciting chase finish.  And the boys aren't doing comedy gags, here they play comic characters. Costello is a country bumpkin who goes to LA to sell vaccum cleaners. Abbott plays his crooked sales manager AND his more likable cousin. The supporting female cast is given a chance to shine with statuesque Jacqueline De Wit taking the honors.   Summary: A pleasant, lightweight comedy which gives Costello a chance to take center stage and show some acting skills. Its a role that Red Skelton would've done better - but Costello is more than adequate.   Rating  **1/2
