i have often joke in the past about some people boundless ( my word ) affection for the late incarnation of the dead end kid but and actually and this and ghost on the loose ( 1943 ) be my first encounter with them . so and what the verdict and then . simple represent their shtick be more tolerable when take in small dos a be the case in dead end ( 1937 ) and angel with dirty face ( 1938 ) . this be instantly forgettable stuff and i can not see it have much rewatchability value in the future . especially since bela lugosi turn out to be a good guy after all . didn not he learn his lesson with mark of the vampire ( 1935 ) .
