Lots of mystery, romance,and fun with a young Bob Hope
and lovely Paulette Goddard.
Bob Hope gets mixed up with the mob,then meets
Paulette Goddard (who has meanwhile inherited
a haunted castle in Cuba). Bob Hope escapes the cops
from the hotel in New York via Paulette's steamer trunk.
They see the sights in Cuba; and
decide to check out the castle themselves. They
run into zombies, murder, and assorted creepiness.
Also, the B/W print is beautiful on the DVD.

George Marshall's raucous comedy with goose-bumps is vintage Hope, who works extremely well with the seductive Goddard (newly divorced from real-life husband Charles Chaplin). Also on-hand are a menacing Paul Lukas, and-could it be-a very young Anthony Quinn! Black actor Willie Best also makes the best of a stereotypical part, and he and Hope give Jack Benny and Rochester a run for their money. If you're in the mood for laughs with some thrills thrown in, here's your movie.

Cute comedy based on a mysterious villian trying to scare the stubborn female away from her newly inherited castle in Cuba. When Bob Hope finds she is in trouble, he comes to her rescue. At the time, this might have been scary, but now it is just funny. There was a sequel made about 10 years later with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin called "Scared Stiff"

I first saw The Ghost Breakers when I was a kid...One moment as I digress...It was on the Family Film Festival, a regular weekend movie show staring Tom Hatten. He would interview his guest which may have been an actor, writer, producer of the movie he was going to show, he'd give a synopsis of the plot, show the film, and then come back to close out the show and wet our appetites for the following week. The day he happened to show this film, it was raining, it was perfect!.....Now back to the movie....It is classic black and white, with Hope at his best for comedy. There is murder, mystery, intrigue, romance, and comedy, everything you could ever want in a movie. I don't want to put in any spoilers so I will only tell you, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! Follow Hope and Goddard as they get mixed up with the wrong group of people, travel with them to Cuba and Goddard's inherited haunted house. Willie Best puts in a teriffic performance. This movie is a hidden jewel. Rent it, Buy it, Borrow it, Give it as a gift! A good amount of bonus material as well.
If you like this movie you'll also like The Cat and The Canary albeit much harder to find. The same people who made this movie made that one as well, along with Hope and Goddard, the comedy isn't as rampant but still funny, a little darker too.
