Hold That Ghost Ratings & Reviews

    Abbott and Costello at their best. Good plot that allows them to pull off their great gags. Joan Davis is part of the cast. If she had not died of a heart attack at age 49, she would have been bigger than Lucy O'Ball.

    Classic and still as funny and fresh as it was decades ago! One to watch with the grandchildren, if you can get them away from the phone or game systems!
