Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Third of the four zany comedies with which Olsen and Johnson revived a flagging career during the '40s. Best remembered for Hellzapoppin, they were even better in Crazy House. This one, with the pair as nightclub entertainers exorcising a haunted house, is patchier, not least because it is saddled with far too much plot. Funny, though, with the same riot of non-sequiturs and vaudeville gags.Author: TM
