Movie Reviews of The Ghost and the Guest
Movie Review: An hour well spent!
Summary: 4 Stars
This short screwball comedy (about 55 minutes) is a surprisingly entertaining gem, despite the fact that I've never heard of any of the actors in this! The plot moves along very fast and there's plenty of fun characters, from a slightly deranged former hangman to a group of ignorant gangsters. And of course, there's the very idiotic policemen who couldn't find a clue if it bit them in the face! The married couple (James Dunn and Florence Rice) seem to be the only sane people in the group, and they have their hands full trying to have a happy honeymoon in a house filled with loonies! This is no masterpiece at all, but it's a great way to kill an hour and have a good time! The dvd picture and sound quality leaves a lot to be desired, but that's no surprise to someone who's already purchased an Alpha dvd. For this low price however, I can't really complain and I highly recommend this little gem to fans of screwball comedies.
Summary of The Ghost and the Guest
Platform: DVD MOVIE Publisher: ALPHA VIDEO Packaging: DVD STYLE BOX Newlyweds Webster and Jackie Frye (James Dunn and Florence Rice) arrive at an old country house for their honeymoon. They are horrified to discover a dead body. When the corpse disappears a bumbling team of policemen confine them there for the night along with the next-of-kin who've arrived to claim it. Unbeknownst to any of them a gang of jewel thieves are hot on the trail of a fortune in diamonds which is also hidden in the house. Writer Morey Amsterdam keeps the pace swift and the dialogue crackling in this screwball comedy with a splash of the macabre. An exceptional ensemble cast featuring Sam McDaniel as the nervous chauffeur and Robert Dudley as the town's retired executioner who has a fixation with nooses makes this a PRC classic.Starring: James Dunn & Florence RiceDirected by: William NighScreenplay by: Morey Amsterdam DVD Details: Run Time: 56 minutesNumber of Discs: 1Originally Released in 1943Black & WhiteNo region encoding; For global distribution.Similar DVD Movies
