Movie review – A&C #12 - “In Society” (1944) ***

Fish out-of-water ideas tend to make solid comedies and this bright Abbott and Costello vehicle has the two of them as plumbers who are mistaken for a pair of society swells. There’s a charming romantic sub plot about a female taxi driver (played by a not very good actor) who is romanced by a high society type. Some of the routines are outstanding, including 'Beagle Street' (which gives fifty worders a chance to shine) and the final chase sequence.
