Okay, now this ad's just creepy...which is, I guess, the idea, seeing as how it's touting the creators of ARSENIC AND OLD LACE as having written the play n which it's based. The thing is, Van Johnson looks creepy in it, too! And June Allyson--never a favorite of mine, I have to add--just looks awkward. Is she dancing or about to punch someone? Probably Van!
Screenplay is by future sitcom guru (I DREAM OF JEANNIE) and ever further future mega-bestselling author, Sidney Sheldon but that's not necessarily a good thing. An okay supporting cast highlighted by black actress Dorothy Dandridge which definitely intrigues. Still, even though I like a good scary comedy, there is nothing here that grabs me and the ad itself is a turn-off. So...no.
