Genre: Comedy, Musical, Murder, Gangsters, Buddies, Ghosts, Haunted House
Tagline: They're making a spook-tacle of themselves!
Plot: This funny remake of Bob Hope's THE GHOST BREAKERS offers Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis as nightclub entertainers Larry Todd and Myron Myron Mertz, who escape from the clutches of mobsters in New York by fleeing to an island off the coast of Cuba. There, the boys come to the aid of heiress Mary Carrol (Lizabeth Scott) who's trying to claim a castle on the island that's been left to her as part of an inheritance. However, they must contend with a criminal who is set on scaring them away from the supposedly haunted isle. Among the film's comic high points are Jerry Lewis doing an imitation of costar Carmen Miranda (replete with platform shoes and fruit), and a surprise appearance by another popular comedy team during the film's final moments.Several song and dance routines add to the fun. Carmen Miranda performs "Mamae Eu Quero," and duets with Martin and Lewis on "San Domingo," and "The Enchilada Man." Martin performs "I Don't Care If the Sun Don't Shine," "What Have You Done for Me Lately," and "When Someone Wonderful Thinks You're Wonderful."
