I loved this film when I saw it as a kid and now, seeing it for the first time in thirty years, I still love it. Along with "Time of Their Lives" and "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" it is my favorite A and B film.
People have already said how it sparkles throughout. The only thing I have to add is notice how Joan Davis' ghost on the stairs scene echoes Ted Lewis' "Me and My Shadow" number.
No female comedienne has ever matched Joan Davis' marvelous physical comedy, including Lucille Ball in my opinion. (However Molly Shannon and Tea Leoni come close occasionally)
The closing musical number "Aurora" by the Andrew Sisters is marvelous. Besides "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy," it is my favorite of theirs. Patty Andrews is still alive at age 89. Its great that she's still around.
