Did You Know?
| Trivia | Lou Costello always suspected that their studio, Universal Pictures, wasn't giving he and Bud Abbott the agreed-upon share of the profits the studio made from their films (a suspicion later proven--as a result of legal action they took against the studio--to be true). Therefore, he developed a habit of picking out furniture he liked from the sets of their films and taking them home, considering it payback for what he believed to be Universal's cheating. One day director Charles Lamont showed up on the set to shoot a scene at the ice skating rink only to discover that all the wrought-iron patio furniture that had been there the previous day had disappeared. Costello denied any knowledge of it, and Lamont said he would shoot no more scenes until the furniture was returned. A compromise was finally reached whereby Costello would bring back the furniture, the scene would be shot, and then he would be allowed to take all of the furniture back home. See more » |
