Up with the Lark

I must say I don't find this duo very funny - frantic yes but the taller of the two acts too grotesque for my taste. However this is quite a quality production with a good cast who had done and would do better things (Ivor Barnard was later 1953 to star alongside Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, Jennifer Jones, Gina Lollobrigida and Robert Morley as a vicious homicidal Major (rtd) in John Huston's "Beat the Devil").

But there, for me at least, is a sudden surprise - a criminal gang in order keep people from a graveyard they are using for their own purposes, hits on the idea of having a "ghost" scare people away. A figure in a skeleton outfit emerges vertically from behind a tombstone. It is very striking and very memorable. Worth enduring the first 30 mins just to see.
