Comment/Synopsis

The first wife (Kay Hammond) of a man (Rex Harrison) comes back as a spirit to haunt him and his second wife (Constance Cummongs) after she is called up by a medium (Margaret Rutherford) during a seance. This is a good film version of the Noel Cward play, with good performances from the main leads and some good effects for the time the film was made.
