Abbott and Costello's Here Come the Co-eds, starring Bud Abbott and Lou Costello - DVD - Universal Pictures

Abbott and Costello‘s Here Come the Co-eds (1945) starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Lon Chaney Jr.

In Here Come the Co-Eds Bud Abbott and Lou Costello star as two down-on-their-luck individuals who find jobs as caretakers at Bixby College, which is facing bankruptcy. Bud and Lou decide to help the school out by placing a large bet on the girls basketball team, who are massive underdogs. However, due to cheating by the other team, all seems lost until Lou is hit on the head, causing him to lose his memory—his friend Bud convinces him that he’s “Daisy Dimple,” world’s greatest female basketball player—and Lou performs accordingly, winning the game and saving the college. A funny movie, with several of their classic routines including ”Jonah and the Apples” and the music of Phil Spitalny and His All-Girl Orchestra as well as Evelyn Silverstone and her magical violin - with excellent use of Lon Chaney Jr. as the villian.
