The comedy of terrors
I thought of this movie yesterday, a movie I haven't since it's first run. It's a comedy starring Price and Peter Lorre (Boris Karloff also has a small part, I think). Price and Lorre play a couple of undertakers. They only have one coffin, so after the mourners are gone they dump the body out of the coffin into the grave, so they can re-use the coffin.
In one scene, Price's character is taunting Lorre's about his being a confessed bank robber. Lorre replies "I never confessed! They just proved it."
