Who directed more Abbot and Costello films, Arthur Lubin or Ciro Ippolito?
Arthur Lubin Arthur Lubin (July 25, 1898 – May 12, 1995) was an American film director and producer who directed several "Abbott & Costello" films, "Phantom of the Opera" (1943), the "Francis the Talking Mule" series and created the talking-horse TV series "Mister Ed". A prominent director for Universal Pictures in the 1940s and 1950s, he is perhaps best known today as the man who gave Clint Eastwood his first contract in film.
The Midnight Taxi The Midnight Taxi is a 1928 early part-talkie thriller picture from Warner Bros. directed by John G. Adolfi and starring Antonio Moreno, Helen Costello and Myrna Loy. It is unknown whether a sound copy survives, but a silent copy with no talking is in the care of the British Film Institute. The silent print runs just under 50 minutes.
