Original Version


Is there any chance that there is a copy of the original version of Hold That Ghost out there somewhere?

reply

That would depend, what is the original version and how is it different from the one that's shown on TV and on VHS?

reply

I mean the original version , before they added the musical ending.

reply

There was no original version without the Andrews Sisters musical sequences. They were added BEFORE the film was released.

reply

You are incorrect. The film was released briefly and the earliest audiences asked why the Andrews Susters were missing. The film was pulled from release, opening and ending were reshot and was released ascwe know it.

reply

That's not correct. The audience that saw a film version without the Andrews Sisters was a preview audience. Preview audiences see films before they're released, and final edits are made based on the reactions of the preview audience. Then the film is released for viewing by the general public. There is no original version of the film without the Andrews Sisters. They were added after previews and prior to the film's original release.

If you look closely at the ending , there no Joan Davis . A body double was used for her . They did re-shoots to add the Andrew Sisters , but Joan Davis wasn't available. Also in the original , Charlie's Body was there in the ending.
