Let’s get one thing straight at the outset: Postal Inspector is NOT “the only musical featuring Bela Lugosi”: the 1932 film International House, made at Paramount, is a much better movie both as a musical and a Lugosi vehicle (he plays a Russian trade representative in the Chinese city of Woo-Hoo to bid on an ancient inventor’s new remote TV; he’s also the ex-husband of real-life gold-digger Peggy Hopkins Joyce, who was top-billed in the film to capitalize on her off-screen fame, and he delivers a marvelous comic-villain performance even though what people remember about International House…

How do an untalented blonde singer, a post office copper, a flood and patriotism fit together? Who knows? Certainly neither the script author nor the director of this boring propaganda. For non-US-viewers it seems strange that the the postal service has powers of a police force. Bad acting, a cheesy script and the strong state perfectly combined. Did anyone ever have a desire to watch this?
