I thought it would be crap because it's never shown on TV much. But TCM recently showed it and it has been restored and I was surprised that it was better then more then 75% of their other stuff. Plus there are no musical interludes since I guess by 1949 that was out of vogue. You probably got a crummy public domain print but the movie is good if you're an A&C fan. Try to watch it on Turner Classic Movies for a decent restored print if you can.

I thought it was one of their weaker films of their career, this was one of the first A&C movies I've ever seen and this movie kind of made me feel a little hesitant of watching another A&C movie but I'm glad I've managed to give some of their other movies another chance

yeah i found it a bit weak....but still its A and C so...it aint that bad...not all of them can be really good...i wasnt too much a fan of the keystone cops one...over meets the mummy and Meets frankenstein.
