The boys give us a little bit of a history lesson and a lot of laughs here in their second and last movie not acting as a team. Lou is very funny here without Abbott as his straight man and not having to depend on gags. It turns out to be a very classic 40's comedy that is well directed and features a very good supporting cast. Bud plays two roles in the film and is very funny when being haunted by the ghosts.
This movie offered A&C a good script to work with and they do a great job with it. Marjorie Reynolds turns in a very good role here with Lou as her ghostly partner. Unlike "Little Giant" this movie works with A&C not acting as partners and Lou especially shows some good range as an actor mixing in a more tolerable level of pathos with his standard slapstick comedy. Good fun from beginning to end.
