It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Lou is believed to be the killer of a rude guest at a hotel where he works as a bell boy. However much more is going on, and all sorts of suspicious characters pop in and out for a ton of silliness in the team's first follow-up to Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein which had been a tremendous success to you before. Boris Karloff mention in the title play a swami and may or may not be the murderer.All sorts of other wacky characters appear in and out of the action, before me to highlight of this scene between Loul, in drag, and flirtatious hotel guest Percy Helton who won't take no for an answer and tries to interfere in a card game between Lou and four murdered men. Yes there are some good laughs, but it's all pretty unbelievable.Lenore Aubert, who played the van in the previous years Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, is back for a second go around. Alan Mowbray offers some amusement as the snooty and suspicious hotel mas for Karloff, he truly appears to be slumming in this film, as if trying to capture some of the acclaim. So called rival Bela Lugosi had gotten appearing with the boy there before. He is funny in a diabolical scenery where he tried unsuccessfully to get Costello to commit suicide with hysterical consequences. But true that if you don't succeed, try try again, Karloff would be back again with them double years later when they met Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A slapstick conclusion in a spooky cavern adds atmospheric chills and is filled with suspense.

Costello plays a bellhop who gets himself caught up in a murder and soon becomes the number one suspect. His only alibi is that the police think he's too stupid to have done it. Over the next few days, more murders pop up, and Costello may be the only one who can crack the case.I have to admit that this was my first Abbott and Costello film. Outside of "Who's on First", I didn't really know who they were. But this was a fine introduction, as it was funny, and a pretty good mystery. Even after it was solved, I'm still not completely sure I understand it. But that's just more reason to watch it again.Anyone who is going to watch this one should be made aware of one thing: the title, as written sometimes, is misleading. Boris Karloff is not the killer. In fact Boris Karloff isn't even in the movie. He does play a character in the film, but that character is not himself. (Exactly what role he plays in the film is hard to say... his motives are quite odd.)

Bud & Lou find themselves at the center of a murder mystery, the chief suspect? Why Lou Costello of course.As a comedy, Meet The Killer offers nothing fresh to what we haven't seen before from the boys prior to this 1949 offering, not that the comedy doesn't deliver, because it does, very much so. Be it Freddie (Costello) being too stupid to be hypnotised by the shifty Swami (Boris Karloff), or a wonderful sequence of events down in the creepy caverns, it's fun and very diverting. However, the strength in "Meet The Killer" is that it works very well as a whodunit mystery, a ream of characters, all acting oddly, come and go to keep the viewer guessing right through to the cheery pay off. It's entertaining on two fronts and has a cast clearly having fun into the bargain. Super shadowy photography by Charles Van Enger as well. Enjoy!Now, about that Tortoise? 7/10
