Customer Reviews

Bob Hope, Paulette Goddard, and George Zucco.

My introduction to the team of Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard was the movie "Ghost Breakers". In the movie, they mentioned "The Cat and the Canary" (1939). The Cat and the Canary is a very good spoof on horror movies, but it does not have the sophistication of their later movie, "Ghost Breakers." The basic story is of a millionaire who dies and leaves his estate to one person. If that person proves to be mentally unstable, then the entire estate goes to a second person named in a sealed envelope. To add to this situation, a strange person known as the cat has escaped from the local mental asylum. Go ahead and let your imagination run away. Besides, while you are doing this, do not miss any of the one-liners, Bob Hope's or Paulette Goddard's cute smile, or Lord George Zucco's maniacal expressions.
