November 15, 1940 –
The film that introduced Abbott and Costello to movie audiences, One Night in the Tropics, opened on this date.
Although billed as Bud Abbott and Lou Costello’s debut film, it was actually their debut as a team; Costello had appeared, unbilled, in bit parts and worked as a stuntman on several films in the mid- and late 1920s. It was, however, Abbott’s film debut.
