| User ReviewEdwardo CHalf way into the movie i was like "hey it's the tin man" |
| User Reviewhopper ka funny murder mystery. a pretty cool movie. |
| User ReviewJustin WI thought it was pretty good, and quite funny. It came in a Bela Lugosi set, but I think Jack Haley (the Tin Man himself) stole the show. |
| User ReviewMichael SA delightfully sweet and humourous film starring Bela Lugosi as a butler who simply wants to serve coffee, and Jack Haley as a cowardly insurance salesman. The humour is steady and helps to tell the story without being in your face about it. The characters are interesting, and the acting enjoyable to watch. |
| User ReviewAj VFirst of all, I need to see this movie again, but I remember it being good. I saw this for Lugosi, and I think he was good in it, but like I said, I should see this again. |
| User ReviewJacob GI love these old "stuck in a house with an unknown murderer" type of horror/detective/comedy things. While I was reminded a lot of "House on Haunted Hill", One Body Too Many has its own neat vibe, thanks largely to the bumbling insignificance of Albert Turttle, our star and main point of view. |
| User ReviewKrista BAnother mildly entertaining murder-mystery that's made somewhat witty by the presence of a nervous insurance salesman as the protagonist. Charming, spooky, and clever. |
| User ReviewAmanda HThis movie was all right, and somewht entertaining. I couldn't consider it a horror classic, but it's worth a watch. |
| User ReviewStephen LNot the best execution of horror and comedy I have seen, but it is still enjoyable as a mild comedy. Jack Haley is over the top and Bela Lugosi is funny in his subtle role as the butler. |
| User ReviewCharles PA comical tale of murder, mayhem, and mishaps over a dead body and the attached will. It reminded me a little of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. Beware of Lugosi as the butler, when he and the maid makes you coffee. |
