Rio Rita was the first of three films Abbott and Costello made for M-G-M while on loan from Universal. A remake of the 1929 version (itself based on the Ziegfeld stage show), the 1942 version had the comedy duo battling Nazi spies in a Texas bordertown. This script is the M-G-M legal department's copy, with notes indicating it was checked out on October 23, 1941, and with penciled annotations throughout querying the use of potentially proprietary names and phrases.
