Brightlyme i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Leofwine_draca Typical "old dark house" comedy-horror-mystery yarn, influenced by THE CAT AND THE CANARY which had enjoyed great success with Bob Hope a year earlier. While admittedly real-life performer Kay Kyser and his band of musical misfits - which includes the exceptionally goofy Ish Kabbibie, complete with his influential ridiculous haircut - may not be to everybody's taste, and the years have tamed and made the jokes clichéd, YOU'LL FIND OUT has a spirit of fun which makes it impossible to dislike. Even though the film runs at ninety-five minutes, it never drags and once you get over the initial introduction scenes, there's plenty of fun to be had as our bumbling idiots traipse around a spooky country mansion and try desperately not to get killed.Although (as is often the case with these comedy-horrors) the supernatural turn out to be predictably down-to-earth at the film's close, there are still plenty of spooky shenanigans before that, especially a hair-raising séance scene involving a floating disembodied head which is genuinely shuddersome after all these years, a magnificent macabre sight. This film is worth watching for horror buffs too for the casting of three of the genre's finest performers - Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and Peter Lorre. A turbaned Lugosi is never anything less than sinister from when he first appears in a mirror and really seems to be enjoying himself in his minor role, sending up his horror persona. Karloff in comparison is his typically genteel self until his darker side is revealed later on in the film, and finally Lorre has a ball as the fraudulent professor, inimitably reading lines with his silky voice and creating plenty of shudders. Even Kyser, who starts off as being exceptionally irritating, is quite amiable as the bumbling investigator and there are some many things going on that the running time flies by. A worthwhile curiosity, not the best perhaps but definitely not bad, and worth watching just to see the famed horror trio in their only appearance together.

moonspinner55 Kay Kyser, orchestra leader and radio star (and eternal college fraternity jokester), was sort of the precursor to Spike Jones; a born ham, he was a show-off goof for his guests, backed up willingly by his merry troupe of musicians. In this theatrical advertisement for his brand of comedy and music, Kyser is hired to play a birthday party in a gloomy mansion, the kind where poison darts imported from Africa are framed and hung on the wall. The shindig guest-list includes a creepy judge, a scary professor, an ominous swami, lots of giggly females and enough bad jokes to fill three Bob Hope pictures. The songs (by Jimmy McHugh and Johnny Mercer!) are nothing to brag out, and neither is over-confident Kyser, yukking it up as usual with elbow-nudging material that turns 1940 back 10 good years. * from ****

dougdoepke Frenetic but fun movie. Kyser and his gang get caught up in a haunted house replete with the gruesome threesome—Lorre, Karloff, and Lugosi. If you think you've seen it before, you probably have, except with Bud and Lou or ol' ski-nose Hope. That's because it's a durable premise that sets up both laughs and maybe a few shudders. Then too, it's sort of fun seeing how these "supernatural" tricks are done. Director Butler keeps things in motion even when some set-ups overstay their welcome. In my book, Kyser was quite a talented fellow, proving that even the unexpected may have real comedic talent. Plus, there's a lot of pretty girls running around, especially the eye-catching Ginny Simms, so what's not to like. All in all, hat's off to Kyser and his gang of musical cut-ups.

utgard14 The open to You'll Find Out is the worst part. It begins with Kay Kyser and band doing their radio show. The lame jokes, over-the-top actions of the band, irritating song, and Kyser giving new meaning to the word obnoxious make it hard to sit through. After watching this opening eight or so minutes I imagined I was in for a great deal of pain for the next hour and a half.However, after the unbearable start, it becomes a fun little "old dark house" movie. Don't get me wrong, Kyser and company still try to be funny throughout...and they're not...but it isn't quite as in-your-face as that opening scene. Ish Kabibble is especially lame. Often he reminds me of the snickering dog Muttley on the old Wacky Races cartoon. As a matter of fact, cartoonish is the perfect word to describe the humor in this film .The movie's selling point is not the corny humor, however. It's the horror trio of Karloff, Lugosi, and Lorre in their only outing together. They don't get a lot to do but the movie of course belongs to them anytime they're on screen. Also highly enjoyable was the usage of the cool and creepy Sonovox. Those scenes are some of the movie's highlights.It seems strange to recommend a comedy that isn't funny. But there's enough going on with the mystery and the stranded guests to keep you entertained. It's a fun movie with a good cast. Just prepare to grit your teeth to get through the opening mess.
