This is a classic comedy horror film from 1940 starring Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard (no Bing).
"Some real chills as well as laughs in this first-rate film," says Leonard Maltin
Paulette inherits a Cuban mansion that is believed to be haunted.
I remember seeing it many times growing up and always finding it to be smooky and very funny.
A very enjoyable diversion. And in glorious black and white!

Posted: 7/18/05 at 9:24pmI'm a HUGE Martin & Lewis fan--so I'm kinda partial to the remake which starred them--SCARED STIFF.

Posted: 7/18/05 at 9:27pmActualy, THE GHOST BREAKERS was a remake as well! Its source was a 1922 silent comedy, THE GHOST BREAKER (title singular).
