Perhaps the worst movie ever made.

Truly bad film with Lugosi hamming it up, yet marginally entertaining.

Although it carries a horrid reputation, it is actually one of the greatest comedy films ever made.

Wow! Mesmerizingly bad with a nice late in the day turn from Lugosi

Another low point in Lugosi's career.

While I'm sure I've said this more than once, this might be the worst movie I have ever seen. It makes me want to strangle every single person who had any sort of hand in its creation. I will give Lugosi a smidgen of credit, as he does sort of try a little bit. Mitchell and Petrillio's ultra-lameo rip-off of Martin
