Lucky Ghost (1942): cast, story & where to watch

1942 · Film · ★ 6.6

Released in 1942, Lucky Ghost is a comedy film directed by William Beaudine, running about 61 minutes. “You Can Bet Your Bottom Dollar It's THRILLING - EXCITING - FUNNY!” — that tagline sets the tone.

What it’s about. An all-black horror comedy starring Mantan Moreland and sometimes partner (and straight man) F.E. Miller, Lucky Ghost is amusing low-brow fare that exploits the more base, stereotypical elements of old-time black life (chicken thievin', gamblin', runnin' from ghosteses) for laughs -- sort of like the BET of its day. Mantan and Miller win a house-cum-casino in a craps game, only to discover that the deceased former owners aren't too pleased that their old home is being used for "jitterbugging, jiving, and hullaballooing". I hate hullaballooing. The ghosts decide to scare everyone off by opening doors and windows, pulling out chairs, even playing the drums.

Who’s in it. Lucky Ghost stars Mantan Moreland as Washington, F.E. Miller as Jefferson, Maceo Bruce Sheffield as Blake and Arthur Ray as Blackstone, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 6.6/10, Lucky Ghost has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
