A very good murder mystery. However, this is not the funniest performance Abbott & Costello put on. One of the better stories for an Abbott & Costello movie. This movie reminds me much of "Clue" and has it's similarities to the Pink Panther's "Shot In The Dark". Overall this is a fine movie for murder mystery fans but if you're looking for laughs there aren't as many in this one. Try "Rio Rita", "In The Navy" or "Time Of Their Lives".
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Another Good - Who Done It? Another who done-it with a hotel bellhop Freddie (Lou Costello) and house detective Casey (Bud Abbott) become mixed up in a murder at the "Lost Cavern" hotel. A famous lawyer gets kills and the evidence points to Freddie and as Casey tries to help, Freddie gets into worse trouble. The Swami (Karloff) tries to hypnotize Freddie into killing himself but with his subnormal mentality Freddie can't be hypnotize - at one point Freddie is ask how he want to die and he responds "old age." Finally Freddie is lured to the Lost Caverns and finally chases the real killer back to the hotel.
The movie has lots of laughs with dead bodies turning up and moving around on Freddie. Seeing Lou dress up, as a hotel maid is a sight one must see. Karloff's main scene is when he tries to hypnotize Freddie - his part is not large but effective.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great movie!! I have rented this movie at least 11 times! Even the children love it. This is one of there best movies!!
