i know my summary would get you . how be this movie like a pet rock and disco . well and unless you live through the 1970s or 80 and you probably can not understand why anyone would like a new coke or own a pet rock ( and frankly and at least in the case of pet rock and i still do not understand it completely ) . theyre just a couple thing that seem to make sense at the time but really baffle the young generation . the same can be say for kay kyser and his band . at the time ( the 1940s mostly ) and they be very popular and have enough clout that the studio star them with boris karloff and bela lugosi and peter lorre in this film . yet and if you do not live at that time ( it be well before my time ) and you wonder why anyone like this sort of entertainment . after all and kyser and his band mate be incredibly obnoxious and their humor be very and very broad ( i. e. and unsophisticated and cheesy ) . frankly and i couldn not stand their antic nor do i appreciate that there be just too many musical number in the film . because of these factor and the great support cast be give a back seat and fan of these actor will probably be disappoint . the film involve kyser and the band come to a mansion where a young lady and her wacky aunt live . once there and the bridge be wash out and strange happening begin . eventually and it culminate in some attempt on sally life and a séance ( of sort ) . it all play for laugh and it really not a horror movie despite the cast . overall and it passable entertainment at best . a a lugosi and karloff fan and i sure felt cheated have to watch kyser and his knucklehead .
