It’s Paramount’s “The Ghost | Breakers.” | Cleverly directed, it gives Bob Hope ample opportunity to ad lib at the expense of the wierdest as- | sortment of uncanny goings-on ever assembled. Dressed in the lat- est fashions that display her gor- geous figure to perfection, Paulette | Goddard is an eyeful. Action is the keynote of “The Ghost Breakers.” From the very first moment when Paulette finds that she has inherited a haunted castle on an island off Cuba, until she finds out why it was haunted at the end of the picture, not a moment is wasted. It is only natur- al that two people united in solving such a thrilling riddle should grad- ially drift into romance, although they are thrown together acciden- tally in the beginning. Paul Lukas plays the villain, that one of the villains, and a very randsome one, indeed, Richard Carlson makes a dashing charac- | ter come alive, and Willle Best, as {Bob Hope's negro man-servant, is a great foil, Other members of the cast who add to the chills and chuckles include Anthony Quinn, Pedro de Cordoba, Tom Dugan, | virginia Brissac, Noble Johnson, Paul Fix and many others.
