Lux Radio Theater Presents Abbott and Costello in "Buck Privates"

2025-11-11 41 Dailymotion

Two boys duck into a movie theatre to escape a cop, and find themselves in the pre-war Army. This is a Lux Radio Theatre debut for Abbott and Costello. It is a story of life in an army camp, some highly imaginary army camp, for a tent flap opens and Abbott and Costello blow in with a draught! But of course any similarity between this play and life in the armed forces is purely coincidently. Stars, Bud Abbott as Smitty and Lou Costello as Herbie, with Benny Rubin as sergeant Collins, Lynne Carver as Judy and Jean O’Donnell as Bob.
