A&C spent virtually their entire stage, screen and TV career playing together- the best part of their comedy was the interplay of hustler and mark, sharpie and cluck, wiseguy and naif. Everything else was routine slapstick and cutesy mugging by Lou.
But here they were simply two characters in the same story. The only times they're on screen together, Lou's a ghost. So, no "Who's on First" or "Come on;get busy. Open up that coffin".
Surprise! It's still a good comedy. No classic, but a well-paced, smoothly made entertainment that delivers a good mix of gags. And Lou gets to torment Bud with ghostly tricks in several scenes.
I think kids would enjoy it, if they're not too prejudiced against old B&W films.
