About The Live Ghost
Fish market workers Stan and Ollie are persuaded by a sea captain to shanghai a crew for him at the local bar for a dollar a head. Successful at first, the boys end up getting themselves shanghaied, and the crew vow revenge.
Directed by Charley Rogers, The Live Ghost leans on a strong ensemble — Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, Walter Long — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1934.
