This film & "Cat & the Canary" are easily Bob Hope's finest films! Excellent 'haunted castle' (inherited by Goddard) film. Hope has a LOT of great lines!
The blooper is at the beginning of the film; NYC is supposedly COMPLETELY blacked out, due to a thunderstorm. No lites; nothing. BUT.....when "Raspy Kelly" rings Hope's doorbell, it BUZZES! Amazing!
