This is one of the earliest films I remember seeing, and I don't think I've seen it since, so please, make allowances.
But at the time I L O V E D it. Funny/scary movies were my favourites then, and this filled the bill. It made me an absolute fan of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis, an addiction that lasted at least till I turned 13.
At the time, of course, I didn't realise that it was a remake of the much better Ghost Breakers, but surely the fact that I still get a shiver up my spine thinking about Jerry Lewis sitting in the chair with the gorilla arms all these years later must mean something.
I give it a nostalgic six. If I saw it today, I doubt I'd be so generous.
