The Smiling Ghost (1941)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Lewis Seiler
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Wayne Morris is an easy-going unemployed oaf who takes an offer to become engaged to a wealthy socialite with a history of disappearing fiances. He goes to her country estate with valet Willie Best. A phantom with a permanent creepy smile is roaming the mansion, entering rooms through sliding doors and peering through holes in the wall. Morris and company must uncover his true identity before he strikes again. Breezy film is easy to digest with plenty of comedy relief from a nervous Best.
