Munster Go Home! (1966)

A man who looks like Frankenstein by the name of Herman Munster (Fred Gwynne) inherits an estate in Great Britain along with the title of Lord. He and his wife (Yvonne De Carlo), father in law (Al Lewis), son (Butch Patrick) and niece (Debbie Watson) all travel to England to see their new home. But the matriarch (Hermione Gingold) and her son (Terry Thomas) of the estate won't give up without a fight and a dirty fight at that. Directed by Earl Bellamy, this theatrical film was made after the TV series THE MUNSTERS ended its two year run. TV shows with their original cast turned into feature films was nothing new. To name just two, DRAGNET in 1954 and OUR MISS BROOKS in 1956 were turned into movies while their TV shows were still on the air. How is this film different from the TV show? It isn't. It's more of the same but it might have been different if the film had actually been shot on location in England but here "England" is the Universal backlot. If you found the TV series amusing, you should find the film to your liking. I wasn't a fan of the series but I did chuckle a couple of times during the film's running time at some sight gags and it was nice seeing the characters in color instead of B&W. With John Carradine, Richard Dawson Robert Pine and Jeanne Arnold.
