To me, this movie is perfection.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff & Bela Lugosi are out to spook us in this very cute comedy mystery. Who is out to kill Janis Bellacrest? Why are they trying to kill her? Is Aunt Margo Bellacrest right about spirits haunting? Is Prince Saliano a charlatan or a real spirit medium? Watch the film and "You'll Find Out" the answers!! The movie is well worth watching if you love the old school comedy and humor. It's a very cute movie and will brighten up an otherwise drab day. Lorre, Karloff and Lugosi will not disappoint --- and the rest of the cast are just as good... very funny.I must mention Kay Kyser and his band are great in this!! The opening of the film is very comical - it will grab your attention and tickle your funny bone.8/10

I knew my summary would get you. How is this movie like a Pet Rock and Disco?! Well, unless you lived through the 1970s or 80s, you probably can't understand WHY anyone would like a New Coke or own a Pet Rock (and frankly, at least in the case of Pet Rocks, I STILL don't understand it completely). They're just a couple things that seemed to make sense at the time but really baffle the younger generation. The same can be said for Kay Kyser and his band. At the time (the 1940s mostly), they were very popular and had enough clout that the studio starred them with Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi AND Peter Lorre in this film. Yet, if you didn't live at that time (it was well before my time), you wonder why anyone liked this sort of "entertainment". After all, Kyser and his band mates are incredibly obnoxious and their humor is very, very broad (i.e., unsophisticated and cheesy). Frankly, I couldn't stand their antics nor did I appreciate that there were just too many musical numbers in the film. Because of these factors, the great supporting cast was given a back seat and fans of these actors will probably be disappointed.The film involves Kyser and the band coming to a mansion where a young lady and her wacky aunt live. Once there, the bridge is washed out and strange happenings begin. Eventually, it culminates in some attempts on Sally's life and a séance (of sorts). It's all played for laughs--and it's really not a horror movie despite the cast.Overall, it's passable entertainment at best. As a Lugosi and Karloff fan, I sure felt cheated having to watch Kyser and his knuckleheads.

Most people who enjoy this movie would have had to be children when it came out.It probably hit the neighborhood theatres in the summer of 1941, although being made the year before.Of course,all h**l was about to break loose in the world.This movie was a perfect "Friday night event" for the young kids who would attend in droves, usually chaparoned by a couple of teen-aged girls.Life was simpler then, and parents frequently let their young kids walk to the neighborhood shows in this fashion. Karloff,Lugosi, and Lorre were the popular bogeymen,and most of us knew they were kindly actors beneath the disguises.I recall receiving fan mail and pictures from all three (probably valuable today but long lost).Interestingly,Kay Kaiser was well known then(from radio)and had a reasonably talented band.I've seen it occasionally over the years,and the naustalgic element always resurfaces.Unfortunately,generations born in she fifties and later might consider it dated and silly.How sad!

I love this movie! It's the only appearance in tandem of Bela, Boris and Peter. The popularity of Kay Kyser and his band may be lost on modern audiences and the trio of super-villains could have had more screen time, but these criticisms are minor compared to the many joys the picture offers: the art direction and photography are first rate (I love the Bellacrest mansion and its furnishings); Dennis O'Keefe is a romantic lead with a sense of humor; Alma Kruger is appropriately eerie. The seance is the true high point of the picture, a fine showcase for Bela Lugosi who comes off as the most impressive of the three villains. YOU'LL FIND OUT is a lot of fun and compares favorably to Bobe Hope's THE GHOST BREAKERS and ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (the latter also featuring Lugosi).
