Another very good film. It is hard to go wrong with Abbott and Costello. And I definitely like when they have to deal with the classic Universal monsters. It makes for fun films, at least going by the couple I seen so far.

"Due South" marathon, a review by Tom

2.01 North (1995-11-09)
Writer: Paul Haggis (Created By), Jeff King (Writer)
Director: Richard J. Lewis
Cast: Paul Gross (Constable Benton Fraser), David Marciano (Detective Ray Vecchio), Beau Starr (Lt.

A good start into the new season. It follows up on Ray's promise in the last episode. This episode perfectly shows how far their friendship has come.

A great episode. Fun interactions between Ray and Fraser in the Vault. More screentime for Francesca. And the introduction of Fraser's new boss Inspector Thatcher. I always liked her character in the second season. Sadly with beginning of season 3 she is only bitchy (and with a bad new hairstyle).
