The Best Olsen & Johnson film
"Without a doubt, this film is O & J's best film! A Colonel (with 2 daughters) move from Ga to NYC for the girl's Carnegie Hall debut. The house they choose is haunted....by gangsters AND a REAL ghost! Great O & J slapstick comedy, Swing dancing, and music ("Blue Candlelight" is the showstopper). Plus, the ghosts (real & fake) are CREEPY! "Last the best of all the game"!..."
