Soon the trunk (and Larry) are aboard a ship bound for Cuba, where the trunk s owner, pretty Mary Carter (Paulette Goddard), is sailing to take possession of a recent inheritance: a haunted castle. Sensing that Mary is in danger, Larry and his valet Alex (Willie Best) precede her to the island, which is inhabited by a ghost, a zombie and perhaps even a flesh-and-blood fiend.

Customer Reviews:

The Ghost Breakers.......2007-06-25

George Marshall's raucous comedy with goose-bumps is vintage Hope, who works extremely well with the seductive Goddard (newly divorced from real-life husband Charles Chaplin). Also on-hand are a menacing Paul Lukas, and-could it be-a very young Anthony Quinn! Black actor Willie Best also makes the best of a stereotypical part, and he and Hope give Jack Benny and Rochester a run for their money. If you're in the mood for laughs with some thrills thrown in, here's your movie.

Ghost Breakers.......2007-06-11

Cute comedy based on a mysterious villian trying to scare the stubborn female away from her newly inherited castle in Cuba. When Bob Hope finds she is in trouble, he comes to her rescue. At the time, this might have been scary, but now it is just funny. There was a sequel made about 10 years later with Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin called "Scared Stiff"

You Can't Go Wrong With This Movie.......2007-06-04

I first saw The Ghost Breakers when I was a kid...One moment as I digress...It was on the Family Film Festival, a regular weekend movie show staring Tom Hatten. He would interview his guest which may have been an actor, writer, producer of the movie he was going to show, he'd give a synopsis of the plot, show the film, and then come back to close out the show and wet our appetites for the following week. The day he happened to show this film, it was raining, it was perfect!.....Now back to the movie....It is classic black and white, with Hope at his best for comedy. There is murder, mystery, intrigue, romance, and comedy, everything you could ever want in a movie. I don't want to put in any spoilers so I will only tell you, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! Follow Hope and Goddard as they get mixed up with the wrong group of people, travel with them to Cuba and Goddard's inherited haunted house. Willie Best puts in a teriffic performance. This movie is a hidden jewel. Rent it, Buy it, Borrow it, Give it as a gift! A good amount of bonus material as well.

If you like this movie you'll also like The Cat and The Canary albeit much harder to find. The same people who made this movie made that one as well, along with Hope and Goddard, the comedy isn't as rampant but still funny, a little darker too.

great movie from the past.......2007-04-02

i remember this movie from my childhood and still love it today

I like this Bob Hope.......2007-03-26

I have always enjoyed this Bob Hope film and one of the reasons being, he wasn't quite the all-over-the-screen, Bob Hope. In fact he showed some courage and backbone in a very spooky old house. I could see Paulette Goddard falling for this Bob Hope where in other of his films, his character would be too over the top for me to see these gorgeous women falling for him.

In Bush Family Fortunes: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, journalist Greg Palast argues persuasively that George W. Bush was allowed into the Air National Guard ahead of other applicants due to his political connections; paints a damning portrait of how over 90,000 Florida voters, predominantly black, were prevented from voting in the 2000 election; discusses the number of government contracts handed out to large corporate donors to Bush's campaign--and that's just the first half-hour. Palast doesn't have the cinematic savvy of Michael Moore, but Bush Family Fortunes acts as a valuable corollary to Fahrenheit 9/11, exploring certain facets of the same argument--specifically, that the Bush family is detrimentally tied to both the Saudi Arabian ruling elite and the American oil industry, with whom they trade influence and money for mutual benefit. Palast's investigations will stir the blood of any Democrat and may raise doubts in some Republicans. -- Bret Fetzer

Description

This hour long documentary follows the award-winning reporter-sleuth Greg Palast on the trail of the Bush family, from Florida election finagling, to the Saudi connection, to the Bush team's spiking the FBI investigation of the bin Laden family and the secret State Department plans for post-war Iraq. These are the hard-hitting reports that have been seen in films like Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, broadcast internationally on BBC Newsnight television, and are found in Palast's international bestselling book The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.

hurts to realize poppy bush a crook too; not just his sons.......2007-05-17

Finally, a chance to "see" Greg Palast (and his eccentric fedora), whom I read all the time. What poppy Bush and his mining company employers did in Tanzania to THEIR people is a national disgrace. I wonder, is that why they blew up our embassy??

Bush Familt Fortunes- The Best Democracy Money Can Buy.......2007-04-04

Told the truth and really will shoch the people of the United States. It should me put on National TV during prime time.

Not so long ago..........2007-03-29

...US got a fine president doing a fine job, but since he liked a b...j.. in the office from time to time, they prefered to replace him with one nerd who liked to f... the US and the whole world.

Why should anyone be concerned about some petty elections' misdemeanors, when concern should be about using (and maybe asking for) fabricated evidence so he could start a stupid war, next being the first terrorist in US by firing (or getting them fired) those who are trying to make some sense and getting things back on the right track (extreme right wing doesn't fit that description). Of course, since his grandfather made his fortune by helping Hitler's finances, he must have learned there what he was supposed to do.

Don't beat around the Bush, TRASH IT!!!! He deserved impeachment even SINCE HE WAS ELECTED THE FIRST TIME : WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?????

based loosely on facts.......2007-01-19

I have to admit this is a little over the top. However. that said it still contains important facts that americans should be made aware of. some what of an inside look at the ugly side of our reality with bush

One Of The Great Investigative Reporters Of Our Time.......2006-12-24

Greg Palast does the type of investigative reporting made illegal under "Patriot" Act III. Greg bends over backwards to give people the benefit of the doubt which really makes them look bad when he gets the goods on them. Greg and his team do exhaustive research. Greg's investigations are also funded by a non-profit organization so he's not beholden to the corporate media. Greg Palast is my hero. If you have an aversion to the truth, you probably won't like this video or any of Greg's work. If you like true investigative reporting, Greg is your man.

Fans of Golden Age comedy are in good hands with this trio of Muppet Show episodes. Special guest George Burns sings old vaudeville numbers and dusts off vintage one-liners, all while Rowlf the dog (voice by Jim Henson) accompanies on piano. The legendary comedian also dresses down sleazy gossip columnist Fleet Scribbler after the latter presses Burns for details about Miss Piggy's private life. Dom DeLuise hosts an energetic show full of pratfalls, particularly in a hysterical sketch set among the fuzzy, babbling inhabitants of Planet Koozebane. There's also high drama when DeLuise grows incensed over Piggy's legion of admirers; their growing numbers force her to dress in the star's changing room, resulting in an epic exchange of ego-driven insults. Finally, Bob Hope finds Kermit stealing some of his oldest jokes, but later trades quips with a horse during a "Don't Fence Me In" number. --Tom Keogh

Great shows -- forget the extras.......2004-04-28

These are three of the best "Muppet Show"s on DVD yet. The "extras" are not accessible via the main menu -- you must go into the individual episodes to find them, although there's not much there worth watching.

Help.......2004-03-27

Can somebody write a review of this DVD for me? I am a Muppet fan but only like the best of the best. I have been back here many times to check for reviews but have none. It would be much appreciated.
Thank You.

DVD (2) Diana Ross, Brooke Shields, and Rudolph Nureyev dance, sing, and banter in this trio of episodes from television's The Muppet Show (1976-1981). (3) DVD The emphasis is on music in this lively minicollection of episodes from The Muppet Show, but that doesn't mean the late Jim Henson's creative genius goes on holiday. Linda Ronstadt, at the height of her popularity in 1976, belts out her hit "Blue Bayou," though accompanied by Henson's delightful swamp critters. Gentle eco-warrior John Denver has no shortage of lovely nature songs, yet nothing tempers the rage of Miss Piggy, forced to share Kermit with Denver on a camping trip. In a classic Muppet showstopper, this DVD includes Harry Belafonte joined in a Guinea folk song by breathtaking African masks, which move and sing in a moment of true television magic. Brian Henson (Jim's son) introduces all three episodes with some shared memories; the most touching includes footage of Belafonte singing that same Guinea song, years later, at a joyful memorial for Jim. A Must have 3 great DVD with 9 shows on them.
