SCARED STIFF is a pretty good remake. I agree that it's nowhere as good as the original, but it is one Martin and Lewis's best films.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799060793812204452.post-49330125318683795172015-10-12T20:39:45.868-04:002015-10-12T20:39:45.868-04:00Oh boy.

I'm not sure how much of a Martin & Lewis fan I am, but Scared Stiff definitely sounds worth a go, especially if it has the fab Carmen Miranda.

A good, solid property and George Marshall always knew what he was doing.
