Wonder Man is an awful movie which has some good special effects, wonderful technicolor photography and a couple of a decent song and dance numbers which makes it barely tolerable.
Danny Kaye plays identical twins. One of them is an exuberant club comic and song and dance man. Who is killed by some gangsters who he squealed on and returns as a ghost, contacts his bookish, intellectual brother and persuades him to go back to the nightclub to apprehend the killers. At times the dead brother could inhibit his body, useful for some later show numbers.
Kaye's performance is over the top, almost like he was some kind of prototype Jerry Lewis. The plot consists of a lot of shenanigans and some lengthy song and dance sequences to pad out the thin script.
