In Society (1944)

Two plumbers (Bud Abbott, Lou Costello) are called to repair a leaky faucet in the bathroom of a wealthy businessman (Thurston Hall). When they arrive, a fancy costume ball is in full swing and their taxi driver (Marion Hutton, Betty's sister) is mistaken for a guest. More complications ensue when another guest (Kirby Grant) falls for the cab driver and invites her to a posh weekend at a country estate. Directed by Jean Yarbrough (KING OF THE ZOMBIES). This Abbott and Costello comedy is a middling affair. Not one of their best efforts but there are a couple of genuine funny scenes (the bagel street straw hat sequence, the runaway sofa) but alas, not enough to lift the movie out of the routine. With Thomas Gomez, Arthur Treacher, Steven Geray and George Dolenz.
