Without a doubt, this film is O & J's best film! A Colonel (with 2 daughters) move from Ga to NYC for the girl's Carnegie Hall debut.
The house they choose is haunted....by gangsters AND a REAL ghost!
Great O & J slapstick comedy, Swing dancing, and music ("Blue Candlelight" is the showstopper).
Plus, the ghosts (real & fake) are CREEPY!
"Last the best of all the game"!
