HERE COME THE CO-EDS—-the 14th Abbott & Costello flick, the first of three released in 1945. This time ‘Oliver Quackenbush’ (Lou) and ‘Slats’ (Bud) are hired as caretakers at a women’s college. Some chuckles (Costello displaying his usual deft physicality) although Bud yells too much. Wears out its welcome before the 88th minute shows up.

Co-starring sprightly hoofer Peggy Ryan (popular at the time for eight musical-comedy team-ups with Donald O’Connor), Martha O’Driscoll (in the  parlance of the day, a ‘looker’: she soon left movies, married an industrialist and became a famous philanthropist), Charles Dingle and Lon Chaney Jr. Lon was demoted by a thankless Universal for this job, one of six that year including another Larry Talbot/Wolfman gig in House Of Dracula, which also featured the lovely Ms. O’ Driscoll.

Costing $717,000 to produce, the gross of $2,800,000 landing on 76th place for the year. Directed by Jean Yarbrough. Written by John Grant and Arthur T. Gorman.
