dbkenner-73304 Most of the reviews here are on target. This is a fun movie. It doesn't hold up to other mystery/comedies like The Thin Man Series. Also, it is not going to warm the hearts of Dorothy L. Sayers fans, who have very particular ideas about adapting stories featuring Lord Peter Wimsey. One reviewer called the title change (from Busman's Honeymoon to Haunted Honeymoon) pointless and unnecessary. Whatever one thinks of the title Haunted Honeymoon, the title change was understandable. Very few in America are familiar with the phrase "Busman's Holiday," which the original title is meant to be a version of. The joke is lost in translation. Therefore, a new title was needed.

gridoon2018 For me, "Haunted Honeymoon" was a perfect follow-up (although it was made almost half a century earlier!) to the Edward Petherbridge - Harriet Walter / Lord Peter Wimsey - Harriet Vane films; in the first one of those three films he meets her, in the second he courts her, in the third he finally wins her heart....and in this one they get married! They go to the country in search of a peaceful honeymoon, but encounter murder instead. And it is done by an ingenious murder trap - one that will be revealed only in the last 3 minutes of this fast-paced film (it may, in fact, be so fast-paced that some aspects of the mystery can be sketchy and confusing on the first viewing). Robert Montgomery may not be aristocratic (or British) enough for the role of Lord Peter Wimsey, but otherwise he is fine, and there is something pleasingly offbeat and idiosyncratic about his chemistry with the gorgeous Constance Cummings. On the whole, if you are a fan of the genre, this movie should be a part of your collection. Funny ending, too. **1/2 out of 4.

malcolmgsw This was one of the MGMfilms made at Denham studios prior to the construction of their studios at Boreham Wood.Probably made in the UK to take advantage of the me quota requirements introduced by the 1938 act.This gave double quota for more expensive films.Michael Balcon was briefly in charge till he clashed with Louis B Mayer and left for Ealing.The problem with this film is that it is far too long.It spends the first 20 minutes without starting to advance the plot.The result being that by this time you have lost all interest in the film and therefore by the time the film really starts you could not care less.Looking at the credits 3 writers get credit but it probably had the input of many more.So. it becomes something of a dog's dinner.Any thriller made at Merton Park is better than this

LeonLouisRicci Some Americans have a Low Tolerance for Britain's Lord and Lady Stuff and This Movie is So Stuffy and Full of Groveling it Can Be a Hard Watch at Times. The Cowtowing to "Privilege" is Offensive and Demeaning.Speaking of Privilege, Robert Montgomery was a Handsome, Charming Actor, but a One Trick Pony. Getting by on His Looks and Aloof Rich-Kid (in real life) Personality. Just See His Cringe-Inducing Try at Philip Marlowe (He also Directed) in the Pretentious and Lame, "Lady in the Lake" (1947).This is a Thin Man Wannabe and Doesn't Even Come Close. It is a Lackluster, Talky "Who Done It?". Competent but Unengaging and Any Cinematic Style is Non Existent. It Plods Along Until its Over and You May be Glad it is.Note...The Honorific Title of "Lord" is said so many time in this Film it borders on Religious and is Ridiculous.
