lots of whimsical fun in something of a "black comedy"
This is your typical fun fare '30's movie...but from 1941. If it ever get slow Billie Burke ( good witch of the north in Wizzard of oz) livens it up even better then Mrs. Howell did in Gilligans Island. Her comic often comes up as genius, and occasionaly brightens the movie just when it needs it. She wasn't used enough in comedies if you ask me.A few hidden doors and passage ways make for curious and bordering on scary moments. It has Rochester and an inside joke to his "former boss". some excess in the Seal scene. The boat offshore makes no sence and is never explained.Still it's a pretty fair comic mystery movie too and who can guess the real villian?But it's a fun yarn with a few cuties and reluctant heroes to enjoy.Though some similarities to the "Thin Man" exist, it's far more light.The DVD loaded easily, no apparent flaws in reproduction.
