Country: US
Technical: bw 72m
Director: Elliott Nugent
Cast: Bob Hope, Paulette Goddard, Gale Sondergaard
Synopsis:
Relatives gather at an old dark house in the Louisiana swamps for a will reading, amongst them a vaudevillian and a murderer.
Review:
An example of a defunct art, the gentle parody, this classic comedy-thriller is still funny and still scary after all these years. The cast is faultless, the script sparkles and the photography is as atmospheric as could be.
