B ghost/haunted house story is kind of fun
10 June 2005
Attractive Wayne Morris is hired to be the fiancée of lovely Alexis Smith, the "kiss of death" girl, and there the fun begins. Beautiful Brenda Marshall is the reporter on the trail of a good story. What spoils this film, of course, is the character of Clarence, performed by Willie Best. It's the offensive portrayal of blacks often seen in these types of films which not only dates it but is embarrassing to watch. It's a shame, because there's no doubt that Best was a fine talent, and we know he was a wonderful singer.

Other than that, it's a neat entry into the genre, with Wayne Morris very beguiling with his "aw, shucks" earnestness and good looks. Alan Hale is quite funny as the butler.
