Abbott and Costello give the film some of its most hilarious moments as a pair of flunkies hired to make sure that the wedding goes through, performing a large portion of their famous "Who's On First"? routine, a special treat for everyone who appreciates a timeless work of humour. One Night in the Tropics is a must-see for Abbott and Costello fans, film buffs and comedy lovers everywhere.
