"This book focuses in detail on the wartime films of Abbott and Costello, discussing the production, content, and reception of 18 films. Of particular interest to fans and collectors are the book's illustrations, which feature 122 original, studio-produced photo stills and lobby cards from the author's personal collection, many of which represent outtakes or deleted scenes"--Provided by publisher.
