A vintage poster for ''The Ghost Breakers'', a 1940 American comedy-horror film directed by George Marshall and starring Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard. The film is a classic example of a "haunted house" comedy, blending elements of humor, mystery, and the supernatural.
The story of "The Ghost Breakers" centers around Larry Lawrence, portrayed by Bob Hope, a radio personality who becomes entangled in a murder mystery while on vacation in Cuba. When he meets a beautiful woman named Mary Carter, played by Paulette Goddard, he is drawn into a complex web of intrigue and spooky occurrences.
Mary has inherited a haunted castle on a remote Caribbean island and believes it to be cursed. Larry, always up for an adventure, decides to accompany her to investigate. Once they arrive on the island, they encounter eccentric characters, hidden secrets, and strange happenings that add to the comedic and mysterious atmosphere.
Bob Hope delivers his trademark wit and humor throughout the film, providing a lighthearted and comedic touch to the suspenseful and supernatural elements. Paulette Goddard's performance as Mary Carter adds charm and intrigue to the story.
"The Ghost Breakers" features a blend of comedy and spooky moments, making it an early example of the horror-comedy genre. The film's use of a haunted castle as a setting and the presence of supernatural elements contribute to its unique appeal.
The film also includes memorable supporting characters, such as a zombie named Parada (played by Noble Johnson) and an African American maid named Georgette (played by Willie Best), whose portrayal reflects the stereotypes of the time.
While "The Ghost Breakers" may not be as well-remembered as some other classic comedies, it remains an entertaining and enjoyable film that showcases Bob Hope's comedic talents and provides a mix of laughs and thrills. The film's blend of humor and spooky elements has contributed to its enduring popularity among fans of classic cinema.
