Curiosidades

Ghost Catchers is a 1944 American comedy horror film. It was the third of four comedy features produced by Universal Pictures for Broadway's comedy stars Olsen and Johnson.

Production

The role of the elder daughter was originally assigned to Diana Barrymore, then under contract to Universal. Co-star Gloria Jean, who joined the cast in February 1944, recalled, "Diana Barrymore was supposed to do Ghost Catchers but she didn't like the idea of working with Olsen & Johnson. So they replaced her with Martha O'Driscoll."

Edmund L. Hartmann's script was titled High Spirits. It went into production as The Ghost Catchers.

Olsen and Johnson's previous films for Universal were among the studio's most expensive productions, and were sold as major motion pictures. Universal decided to economize for the two remaining Olsen & Johnson comedies, using salaried contract players, standing sets, and existing costumes. Ghost Catchers was drastically edited down to 68 minutes, where it could play as the stronger or lesser attraction in double features.
