**Reno\_Nevada\_Jr** , _The Russians are Coming! The Russians are Coming!_ is still one of my favorite comedies ever. So many good actors and so many good lines. And when the Russians and Americans automatically work together at the end, without even thinking about it, I still get sentimental about that. I knew an American guy who was in the Army as a Russian linguist and he said the untranslated Russian dialogue was just as funny. ---

Thanks. Hot take: _Hold That Ghost_ is a superior horror movie parody to _Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein_. ---

> [@MrAtoz](#): > > Hot take: _Hold That Ghost_ is a superior horror movie parody to _Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein_ . I’ll agree. So, apparently, did Lou Costello, who turned the script down at first because he thought it was dumb. **Hold That Ghost** is interesting in several ways. They made it right after **Buck Privates** , but that film became so popular that they made and released another “service” comedy rapidly ( **In the Navy** ) before they released Hold that Ghost. Also, they realized what a selling point the Andrews Sisters (and Ted Lewis) were, and shot and added the scenes with them. And it’s an early role for Richard Carlson as a scientist long before he became the scientist-hero of those 1950s monster flicks like _It Came from Outer Space_ and _Creature from the Black Lagoon_. What’s more interesting, in a way, is that I think the film shows that they still weren’t sold on the comedic draw of Abbott and Costello alone – this WAS their second film (if you discount _One Night in the Tropics_ – so they added other prominent comedians to the mix, something they really wouldn’t do later on. So you’ve got a turn by once and future Stooge Shemp Howard as a soda jerk (he was also in _In the Navy_) and a surprisingly big part for (underappreciated and most forgotten today) female comic Joan Davis as waitress Camille Brewster – she shares some major one-on-one screen time with Lou and is definitely funny in her own right. She ain’t window dressing like Evelyn Ankers and Carlson (as our almost obligatory romantic couple). ---
