CGiii Comment

Terribly English, terribly mannered, rather eccentric and as far from reality as you can get.

Did people really speak like that???

Worth watching for Margaret Rutherford alone.

The(ir) Blurb...

To get background for a new book, author Charles Condomine (Sir Rex Harrison) and his second wife Ruth (Constance Cummings) light-heartedly arrange for local mystic Madame Arcati (Dame Margaret Rutherford) to give a séance. The unfortunate result is that Charles' first wife Elvira (Kay Hammond) returns from beyond the grave to make his life something of a misery. Ruth too gets increasingly irritated with her supernatural rival, but Madame Arcati is at her wit's end as to how to sort things out.
