This is undoubtedly one of the best they have ever done. However I can truly say all Abbot and Costello is great. In this story the pair inherit a mansion from a dying gangster Moose Manson. He always told his associates he kept the hiding place for his money "in my head". They are joined in this movie by three actors who help move the story at a good pace. The dialogue is never slow or boring and always exciting and funny.One of my favorite parts is a dance sequence with Lou and his female companion kind of a satirical waltz.And of course when they find the money alot of things come together. Don't let the title scare you this is a great movie for the entire family. And like all of the pairs films it has a happy ending. They just don't make'm like this anymore my collection will contain all that these two ever made before too long. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did. B.A.& J.A.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GREAT FUN
Abbott and Costello at the height of hilarity. With Joan Davis on hand to buoy the merriment, the Andrews Sisters providing a touch of camp, and a better-than-average number of well-wrought thrills, this film remains one of the best examples of that rarely successful subgenre, the horror farce....A creepy, haunted house setting, the playground of a good many comics since the advent of the movies, provided the perfect setting for Abbott and Costello's second 1941 feature - HOLD THAT GHOST, which is, in my opinion, the team's greatest movie. The lines are clever and witty and the supporting cast is very good. The pair got plenty of competition in the laughs department from Joan Davis. Active in show biz since infancy, the klutzy comedienne's broad antics provide her with a welcome respite from the moonlight and roses schmaltz of playing second banana, for instance, to Sonja Henie in her films. Complimenting each other's uninhibited zaniness, Davis and Costello share some great moments. The couple perform a fractured rendition of the BLUE DANUBE WALTZ; Davis also contributes immensely to the amusement of the famed moving candle sequence. Evelyn Ankers is good to look at (in her first exposure to the genre in which she would be forever associated); her she's go a crush on the blandly versatile Richard Carlson - amusingly portraying a 1941 health nut.
