Comment/Synopsis

A fun loving couple (Constance Bennett and Cary Grant) who are major shareholders in a bank are killed in a car accident due to their reckless driving. They back come as ghosts with the aim of livening up the life of the stuffy and conservative bank manager (Roland Young). They lead him into a variety of adventures that disrupt the bank and his marriage (to Billie Burke). This is an entertaing ghost film, with good performances from Constance Bennett and Cary Grant as the wild couple as well as Roland Young as the man discovering his alter ego and Bllie Burke as the loving wife trying to understand the change in her husband as Constance Bennett tries to lead him astray. This is a well written, acted and produced light supernatural comedy.
