Movie review - "Murder He Says" (1945) ***

 Fun comedy with pollster Fred MacMurray caught up with a family of murderous hillbillies: Margery Main, her husband, her twin sons and crazy daughter. Helen Thompson is the visitor looking for cash.

I did wish the leads were Bob Hope and Paulette Goddard but the ones we have are game, the support cast excellent. I was maybe expecting something better - this has a growing cult - but it was clever and funny. There's a Ghostbreakers injoke from director George Marshall, who also made this.
