Gildersleeve's Ghost

(1944)

These two ghosts decide to help rotund asshead Gildersleeve win an election, so they set a gorilla loose and plenty of tomfuckery results. Frankly I think the one ghost's first idea was better ("Say, how about the two of us haunting the girls' dormitory at the college this evening?"), but irregardless this ends up being the best Gildersleeve movie, not that that's saying much. There's actually one or two funny parts, we see Gildersleeve's hottie niece in a leopard costume (damn has she got a knockin' bod), and in the best part this little kid tells a brother "That's white of you." Ha! Movies were so much funnier when everyone was racist. The thing that sucks most about this is the name; "Gildersleeve's Ghost" strongly implies that Gildersleeve is dead, and when someone is as universally hated as Gildersleeve you can't promise something like that and then not deliver. It really is a good thing that there was a war on when this first came out or people probably would've rioted in the streets.
