Product Description

 
Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard's comic timing is excellent, and the works on which they are teamed together contain some of the funniest moments filmed by either actor. Hope plays Larry Lawrence, a New York City detective who becomes involved in a gangster-related hotel shoot-out. Believing he has killed a man, Lawrence hides in a trunk owned by Mary Carter (Goddard). When Lawrence gets out of the trunk, he finds himself on a steamboat, as Carter is en route to a castle which she has recently inherited on a small island off the coast of Cuba. While aboard the ship, Carter and Lawrence are aprised of rumors that the castle is haunted, but they remains steadfast in their will to visit it. Once there, many perilous and hilarious adventures await. THE GHOST BREAKERS is widely heralded as the best of Hope and Goddard's combined efforts.

Thanks for the memories....

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2003
The Bottom Line: See some early but well executed "morphing" when the ghost appears, excellent makeup on the Zombie, and a generally great movie. You can't lose with this one. Go for it!
Review: Thank God for those people who believe in the potential of old movies upgraded to DVD! This particular one is, of course, The Ghost Breakers. Produced and distributed by Paramount Studios, this was the second pairing of Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard...

The "Buddy Picture's" Roots

Date of Review:  Jan 20, 2003
The Bottom Line: A charming visit to the era of the World War II generation. This funny film holds its own after 60 years, in addition to its historical interest
Review: This fast-paced mystery / comedy tale of a young woman's trip to Cuba to claim her inheritance of a haunted castle holds up well, even after 60 years of cinematic "progress" (contrast this delightful 1940 hit with the more recent Blade II, and judge...

Ghosts and gags collide in this witches' brew of laughs with Bob Hope as a Manhattan radio commentator who finds himself marooned on an island of the walking dead! Larry Lawrence (Hope) sought in connection with a murder he did not commit eludes New York police by hiding in a steamer trunk. Soon the trunk (and Larry) are aboard a ship bound for Cuba where the trunk's owner pretty Mary Carter (Paulette Goddard) is sailing to take possession of a recent inheritance: a 'haunted' castle. Sensing that Mary is in danger Larry and his valet Alex (Willie Best) precede her to the island which is inhabited by a ghost a zombie and perhaps even a flesh-and-blood fiend. There's romance comedy and chills as Hope and Goddard contend with earthly and un-earthly foes - and try to keep from ending up as ghosts themselves!
