THE CAT AND THE CANARY and THE GHOST BREAKERS (Eureka Classics) Blu Ray

| Blu Ray

Eureka Entertainment to release, The Cat And The Canary And The Ghost Breakers, a charming double-bill of horror-comedies starring Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard. Presented as part of the Eureka Classics range in their UK Blu-ray debuts. Available from 5 December 2022, the first print-run of 2000 copies will feature a Limited-Edition O-card Slipcase & Collector's Booklet. Ghosts and gags galore in this charming double-bill of horror-comedies starring Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard. The Cat and the Canary (dir. Elliott Nugent, 1939) - A decade after the death of an... eccentric millionaire, his remaining relatives gather for the reading of the will at his abandoned mansion set deep in the Louisiana bayous. His niece Joyce (Paulette Goddard) is named the sole inheritor, but under the condition that she does not go insane within the next 30 days. The timid Wally (Bob Hope) vows to protect Joyce who must spend the night in the haunted mansion along with her jealous relatives, a creepy maid and a homicidal maniac who has just escaped from a nearby sanitarium. The Ghost Breakers (dir. George Marshall, 1940) - Larry Lawrence (Hope), sought in connection with a murder he did not commit, eludes New York police by hiding in a steamer trunk. Soon the trunk (and Larry) are aboard a ship bound for Cuba, where the trunk's owner, pretty Mary Carter (Goddard), is sailing to take possession of a recent inheritance: a haunted castle. Sensing that Mary is in danger, Larry and his valet precede her to the island, which is inhabited by a ghost, a zombie and perhaps even a flesh-and-blood fiend. There's romance, comedy and chills as Hope and Goddard contend with earthly and un-earthly foes-and try to keep from ending up as ghosts themselves. Eureka Classics is proud to present both films in their UK debuts on Blu-ray.
