Crazy House.
30 October 2013
Lew Landers directs Boris Karloff and Peter Lorre as two daffy doctors. Boris plays Professor Billings, whose scientific experiments have left the cellar filled with the bodies of traveling salesmen, Peter Lorre plays both a quack doctor and the sheriff, determined to find out what's going on. A young woman has recently purchased the estate, and agrees to let the current residents stay, even though she wants to make it into a proper hotel! Needless to say, complications ensue... Crazy film is an obvious copy of the far superior "Arsenic and Old Lace", but isn't anywhere near as funny or clever. Some funny bits to be sure, but far too strained to succeed.
