Lugosi and Karloff in Gift of Gab

[Extratexture4]

This is great! Do you have any clips of the fake "Three Stooges" act that were said to appear in this picture?

[gatorman295]

@Extratexture4 Bit of trivia for you: the Stooges were supposed to be in this film! However, since Columbia exec Harry Cohn refused to part with them, producer Ryan James had to cobble together the Sid Walker/Skins Miller/Jack Harling team and billed them as the Three Stooges!

@gatorman295 Yeah, LOL, I've heard that. According to Moe Howard, he inked a deal with Columbia for the team on the same day that Larry made a deal with Universal.

Yay!

Karloff's laugh... hilarious.

Nice seeing Karloff and Lugosi in this, although they should've shown more of Lugosi.

wheres lugosi?

[Archaebacter]

He's the guy in the closet at about 1:30.

According to the book "Karloff and Lugosi" by Gregory William Mank, Karloff received $500 for this and Lugosi $250. Easiest money either ever made.

Hey what is this movie like, other than what I just saw? It seems almost like those screwball mysteries lugosi would be in (like One Body Too Many). Any input?

It's just a screwball comedy, with this being the only part of it with any kind of horror element.

Where did you ever find this? I was under the impression that it didn't exist anymore. Thanks for posting!

[miscvids818]

I bought it off a guy who was selling a VHS of it. Don't know how he got it. Yeah, it was thought to be a lost movie.

[karloff4]

those guys were the best!

great comedy!
