Steve D 06/28/2023 Not their best but some fun bits. See more Ed M 07/05/2021 Very enjoyable movie. Different from every other Abbott and Costello movie. See more Douglas J 01/10/2020 Unusual for the duo. Others have recapped the plot. A bit otherworldly and well done. A fun trip, through an unusual A&C plot. Good for a rainy Saturday afternoon - lose yourself in the feeling created by the film. See more 07/12/2018 One their better comedies in which the duo is split up and Abbott plays a dual role. The Ghost Steps Out, however, was the original title of Hold that Ghost in 1941, and not the alternate title to this film See more 02/11/2018 Abbott and Costello are, respectively, a butler and a tinker in the Revolutionary War era United States. They both love the same woman, a maid, but she only has eyes for Lou. Although Bud hopes to dispatch his rival, a group of soldiers mistakenly shoots and kills Costello and Marjorie Reynolds, thinking them traitors, when in fact Lou has a letter of reference from General George Washington and Reynolds (playing Melody Allen) was just about to expose the real traitors (including her fiancé). Fast forward 165 years and Costello and Reynolds are stuck haunting the same estate where they were killed. A group of modern young people, including Abbott playing his own descendent, now a psychiatrist, are staying overnight in the house, now restocked with its original furniture. The only way that Costello and Reynolds can be freed from the curse that keeps them in the house is to get those people in the house to find the hidden letter from Washington that reveals that they aren't traitors. But enough about the plot, there is a bit of slapstick and some ghostly special effects to please the 1940s audiences; however, I didn't find myself laughing too much. Other films by the comedy team seem funnier (despite the high rating on IMDb for this one). See more 08/26/2016 I'm sorry that RT disn't like it so much. It is perhaps my favorite of their movies.
