ZOMBIES ON BROADWAY (1945). This might also be considered as "Abbott and Costello wannabes who Walked with a Zombie", but actually a lot better than I thought it would be. Carney and Brown aren't all that great, but get some decent chuckles and would take them over the Ritz brothers for sure. RKO had a good hit with I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE, so Darby Jones and Sir Lancelot are back and on the same island as IWWAZ. Bela Lugosi is his usual reliable self and despite the goofy, perhaps off-putting title, this is worth a look. ***
