Kommentar aus IMDb.com [Klicken zum Anzeigen] (by dbborroughs on 25 April 2004) An old lady is taken to court by her heirs because they feel she is wasting her fortune and that she should be put away for her own safety. Turning the tables on the greed family in the courtroom she insists that any of her heirs who want a piece of her money show up at her house that night. What happens next is a very enjoyable murder/comedy as people start dying as every scrambles to find the fortune. Anyone expecting anything other than a silly time should stay as far away from this movie as possible. Yes, there is a mystery, but there are a good bunch of laughs as well, as reporter Wallace Ford and his girl wander among the crazies trying to get a story while trying to stay alive. I really like this film, especially the old lady that who is smarter than the relatives who are trying to put her way. This is a good friend of a movie that I'll take out now and again when I need to just sit and veg. If you come across it, by all means give it a try, we all need to laugh now and then. | Darsteller Wallace Ford ... Bob White Marian Marsh ... Nora O'Brien Sarah Padden ...
