Comedy cut-ups in an old house, with Jack Haley playing owl with a “hot” corpse over which a gang of heirs-apparent are wrangling viciously, form the low and tasteless substance of Paramount’s “One Body Too Many,” which came yesterday to the Rialto, where such pictures have a way of getting by. Except for Mr. Haley’s bleats and shivers, which are amusing for their droll despair per se, this picture is a wretched exhibition of trashy film construction and clowning. There is a limit to so-called comedy business projected through proximity with the dead, a limit to charnel-house buffoonery. And “One Body Too Many” breaks it.
