Starring: Eugene Pallette, Elsa Lanchester, Hay Petrie, Everley Gregg, Robert Donat, Jean Parker

Directed by: Rene Clair

The dashing and talented Robert Donat, possibly the best British actor of his day, brings his trademark elegance and wit to this humorous ghost story which begins in the misty Scottish Highlands and then moves across the Atlantic to America.

Robert Donat plays a dual role in the film as Donald Glourie, the debt-ridden owner of a Scottish castle, who shares his run-down home with the eighteenth-century ghost of Murdoch Glourie (also Robert Donat), whose soul is doomed to get no rest until he takes revenge on the rival clan of the Maclaggans to settle an ancient feud. To clear his debts, Donald sells the castle, complete with ghost, shipped over to Florida and Donald goes along to oversee the job.

The ghost wreaks havoc with the castle's new owners and causes endless complications. The results are hilariously funny and triumphantly entertaining, making the film one of Korda's greatest successes.
