Well, I've just sat through this film after reading 8,9,10 star reviews for a 'hilarious' 'masterpiece', an 'overlooked gem' of a movie.
What planet are these other reviewers on? I'm genuinely puzzled as to how they can be so amused.
I kept waiting for it to start getting funny but I waited in vain: it just didn't happen and I never laughed once, not even a smile.
I could see in advance that the plot was fairly corny but I thought that with a cast list that included Ronald Colman, Celeste Holm, and Vincent Price that at least the actors involved would lift it above the run of the mill. No such luck. They all tried their best but were hampered by a script that lacked humour and direction that lacked pace.
I'm know I'm the odd man out here amongst such gushing praise but this tedious tripe is really not a funny film.
