I live just a few miles from Universal Studios Hollywood where this picture was made in 1943, but can't get any response from Universal Home Video about when they will release this classic comedy gem on DVD, like Olsen & Johnson's other classics, HELLZAPOPPIN (1941), GHOST CATCHERS (1944) and SEE MY LAWYER (1945).

I just bought dvd of hellzapoppin' great funny movie but I had it confused with "crazy house" even though it was good i am looking for crazy house on dvd .....really too bad chic and ole do not get the recognition they truly deserve.... have not seen" ghost catcher" or" see my lawyers " seeing as how you are about the only one that seems to appreciate them how would you rate them vs hellz and crazy house?

Doodlekatz,
I LOVE HELLZAPOPPIN' and CRAZY HOUSE!!! I have seen them many times over, and they still tickle my funnybone every single time I view them. I have these two films on VHS videotape from Movies Unlimited.
I have only seen GHOST CATCHERS once - as a child on TV back in the late 1950s.
I have NEVER seen SEE MY LAWYER, but have read about it for years.
I would love to have ALL FOUR MOVIES on DVD!!!
Another movie I highly recommend from the same era is THE BOYS FROM SYRACUSE (Universal, 1940) which is still unavailable on VHS or DVD. It's a great musical comedy set in ancient Greece and Rome.
