This is a vehicle for Bob Hope. It's Hope at his best. And Paulette Goddard is a bewitching romantic partner for him.
The rest of the cast is excellent too. It includes Richard Carlson and Paul Lukas. Anthony Quinn shows a nice light touch as well.
It all involves ghosts and zombies in Goddard's ancestral home in Cuba.
I liked Willie Best here. He so often played a dithering nincompoop. Of course, this was a very disagreeable sort of ethnic stereotyping. Here, he is Hope's manservant but he is not much more scrod of the spooky goings on than anyone else.
The whole thing moves along smoothly and is highly entertaining.
