Review of Busman's Honeymoon (1940) by Geoff P — 09 Mar 2008
Life before seeing "Haunted Honeymoon" was perfectly fine, so why did I have to shake it up by watching this mess? Surely some abstract idea of fate was tempted by doing so. As much as I love Gene Wilder, his only success in this film was creating a dud.
The cast is overwhelmingly large and mostly unnecessary, the laughs take holiday between appearances, and yes, that's Dom DeLuise on the cover as a portly woman. That said, there are a few laugh-out-loud moments and Gilda Radner was enjoyable enough, warranting the 1-star rating, but the rest is dull and as lifeless as the corpses that pop up from time to time.
