Audience Reviews for One Body Too Many

  • Oct 04, 2018
    As Abbott & Costello (and also Bob Hope) discovered, spoofing spooky sold to the yokels, and viola!, Jack Haley mines the same in this riff on the one-of-the-people-in-this-house-is-a-murderer convention. Haley is not as swift with the yuks as those previously mentioned, but the supporting cast sort of makes up for it. The best? Oy, it's Lugosi, as the butler with murder on his mind ... a hoot.

    First of all, I need to see this movie again, but I remember it being good. I saw this for Lugosi, and I think he was good in it, but like I said, I should see this again.
