Lucky Ghost (1942)
7/10
A must see for the comic interplay, the rest is fair

Warning: Spoilers
Mantan Moreland and his partner FE Miller in one of their few pairings on screen. The pair play a couple of guys run out of one town and walking to the next when they run across a couple of rich guys waiting for their chauffeur to return with gas. Thanks to Mantan's less then honest way of playing dice the rich men are fleeced and Mantan and Miller end up driving off in their car. From there it's the pair playing rich and ending up in haunted house. Forget the plot, it makes little sense and isn't very good and instead just watch the stars do what they do best with double speak and double takes. Its so nice to finally see what Moreland was capable when he wasn't relegated to supporting roles in films that were showcases for other people. Its also nice to have some sort of record of what Moreland and his comedy partner used to do on stage that made them stars in nightclubs. Worth a look for the comedy and the silliness.
