All Critics (6)

Lugosi is at his scary best, but the movie is awful, with Mitchell and Petrillo doing awful imitations of Martin and Lewis.

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
