ONE BODY TOO MANY(1944)
In the set: 100 Greatest Terror Classics
Good old Uncle Cyrus has passed on and left a will
that's hard to take for the relatives! They all must
stay in his mansion while a glass tomb is being built!
If anyone leaves their share goes reverse of what it
is in the will! Wonderful comedy abounds!! B+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
It was a dark and comical night... this movie
turned out to be a very pleasant surprise! I
knew it was a comedy-horror but it was funnier
than I expected. This flick is worth watching
if you like old school comedy films. I have
to say this movie is underrated!!
The movie has all the ingredients for a good
old fashioned comedy-horror: we have a dead
man, a will, greedy & goofy inheritors, a
murderer on the loose, a big spooky mansion,
secret passages, a stormy night, Bela Lugosi
& COFFEE.
I think the best parts of the film were: the
insurance man in a towel in the secret passageway,
the wicker basket, the coffin in the water and
COFFEE! LOL. You will have to watch the film to
get the scenes I am referring to. COFFEE is
peppered throughout the entire film!
This is a great afternoon film and would make
a great double feature with a film like: The
Comedy of Terrors (1963). I highly recommend
skipping the COFFEE while watching these
films. ;)
