10/10
Most original Abbott and Costello film
19 August 2003
This is a very good movie. It's one of my favorites of Bud and Lou. They're together on screen plenty and are funnier than ever. The scenes were Lou finds stiffs are hilarious. It's the funniest when Lou finds one stiff and keeps trying to show Bud, but it's never there when he gets back. Lou's scenes with Boris Karloff are also very funny. Abbott and Costello are also trying to dispose of the bodies in many scenes, but they always come back. How? Why? This is a very good murder mystery with comedy. Lou Costello said he always wanted to make a detective mystery. I guess this is what the script writers came up with. I am very pleased and Lou probably was too. Lou Costello is great in this movie. He proves once again that he can perform well with an attractive female co-star. His scenes with Lenore Aubert are very good. He proves he could not only be a very funny guy, but a casanova with the dames like in Mexican Hayride. Bud Abbott and Lou Costello could probably have done anything, but I'm glad they turned to comedy. Just a little trivia too, Lou Costello collapsed in his dressing room after filming the steam room scene. The actor that played Sergeant Stone was also a wanted man for assault while making this movie.

I think the reviewer that put Time to go to sleep as his summary is crazy. He says that Bud and Lou are boring and unfunny. I got news for him. If he is really honest when he says those things he's probably boring himself. He's probably one of those stuffed shirts that wants to be controversial and different. If anyone comes across his review don't believe a word of it. You probably couldn't get a laugh out of him if he took a breath of laughing gas. He really must need to laugh. He really needs to laugh. If he dislikes Bud Abbott and Lou Costello then he's the one that needs help.
