The Ghost Breakers

From Hollywood, the NBC Theater presents Director's Assignment, Production, The Ghost Breakers, Director George Marshall, Star Bob Hope The Hollywood Screen Directors present a Comedy of Terror's, The Ghost Breakers, starring Bob Hope in his original role and introducing the director of the film, George Marshall Our guest screen director tonight might be said to have some small knowledge of motion pictures

He's been an extra stuntman, prop boy, actor, film editor, cameraman, and assistant director. And 34 years ago, he launched his brilliant career as a director of some 385 films. We proudly present the president of the Screen Director's Guild and the director of such fine entertainment as Tap Roots, The Perils of Pauline, Destry Rides Again, and tonight's

story The Ghost Breakers. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. George Marshall. Thank you very much. When we made the ghost breakers, the set bore pretty close resemblance to a case of galloping nightmares, including, included in our chamber of horrors, where such things as ghost, bad zombies, witches, and Bob Hope, which you can imagine is probably one of the scruiest

parlays on record. And here's the result. And on the air, for the first time, the ghost breakers, starring Bob Hope is Larry Lawrence and Shirley Mitchell as Mary Carter. If ever a name struck terror into the heart of the underworld, it's the name of Larry Lawrence, intrepid radio reporter and crime buster.

Yet only his closest friends know that behind his simple, vacant, foolish smile hides the real Larry Lawrence, simple, vacant, and foolish. We find him now in his office, preparing a last, brittle-loaded broadcast before leaving on his vacation.

Oh, so you climb up on Larry Lawrence, huh? Come on, open up. I say or I'll drill a hole clear through you. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay, you ask for it. Take this. And this.
