Trivia
Originally set to feature The Ritz Brothers, they were replaced by a female comedy team known as The Three Jazzybelles.

Goofs
After the power goes out, Anne answers the front door for the Jazzybelles. The exterior electric lights are lit as well as the interior hallway and stairs. The butler had yet to return to the main room with the lanterns he was supposed to bring.

Quotes
Betty: I know about this house - it's haunted. I read about it in the Sunday Magazine section.
Jerry: You did *what*?
Jerry: [slight pause] Well, somebody read it to me... but I know it's haunted.

Great, entertaining film!

This is a very hard-to-find 'old house film'....but SEE IT if you get a chance! The plot synopsis was given earlier, but i'd like to give my personal comments on it.

At first, the "Andrews Sisters clones" get on your nerves, but you grow to like 'em after a bit! Anne Gwynn is lovely, as always....

It's kind of a mish-mosh of musical, mystery, drama, but it WORKS!

See it if u can! MOST enjoyable!
