April 30, 1948 –
Universal Pictures’ comedy The Noose Hangs High, directed by Charles Barton and starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Cathy Downs, and Joseph Calleia, opened on this date.
A & C’s famous Mudder-Fodder routine is performed in this film, but strangely, Lou performs it with Leon Errol instead of Abbott. This could be an early reflection of the known animosity that the team was starting to feel toward each other.
