A young divorcée (Jeff Donnell) tries to convert a historic house into a hotel despite its oddball inhabitants and dead bodies in the cellar.
Apparently this film was an attempt to cash in on the success of "Arsenic and Old Lace", and if that is true, it shows. Besides having Karloff and Lorre, both faces associated with that story, you have the wacky residents of an "old dark house" and fun with corpses.
I enjoyed this, despite its being a knockoff, because it is fun and I can never get enough of Karloff or Lorre, two great actors we should all miss (who can match them today?). Unfortunately my copy was from Sony's print-on-demand system that offers movies on DVD-R, so I am not confident it will last all that many years... when a film like this deserves special treatment!
