Featured review
Thank goodness the Ritz Brothers didn't make this film!
According to IMDB, the Ritz Brothers were supposed to make this film but for some reason or another, Universal substituted the lady comedy team, the JazzyBelles in their place. I have no idea why, but this was a welcome change not only because this odd team do a better job but because the Ritz Brothers were LESS funny than Ebola! I have seen quite a few of their films and always find them boorish and unfunny....and really, really obnoxious.
The story begins in a haunted house during a storm. The blue room in the title refers to a seemingly cursed room in this creepy joint. According to legend, when folks stay the night in the room, they die! Can the heroes and heroines get to the bottom of this mystery?
This movie is a remake of the 1930s film "Secret of the Blue Room" but with a comedic and musical bent. The JazzyBelles provide both the humor and do some absolutely amazing dance routines...which are pretty weird considering it's about a haunted house and murders!
The bottom line is that the film is very entertaining in a brainless sort of way. In other words, it's worth seeing but don't think too much or the silliness of it might just make your brain explode! Fun and quite unique. Sadly, however, the JazzyBelles never took off and soon faded into obscurity.
