Hold That Ghost horror movie poster Hold That Ghost (1941)

Typical Abbott & Costello fare with minimal black presence, but a couple of scenes of note. Willie Best is credited on IMDb as having a role, but the gentleman that appears (mimicking singer Ted Lewis during his rendition of "Me and My Shadow" -- Get it? Shadow? Racism is funny.) is NOT Best. Not even close. Later, when Abbott squirts Costello in the face with oil and Costello retaliates by smacking him in the face with his oil-smeared palm, Abbott exclaims, "Now we're a couple of shadows!" Hold that joke...please.

 

 

 

 

 

By the time he realized what had happened, Sam had lost all sense of rhythm.
Marvin's caulk always found its way into someone's face.
