Action Comedy Fantasy

7.2 / 10

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

There are no Male characters to identify with in this forced comedy...Rex Harrison might as well have a sign around his neck that reads...'I'm an insufferable sissy'. - @Friday, August 17, 2018 10:28 PM

I agree, Rex is very sexy and I also agree he got much more attractive as he got older. In person, he could be very rude and awful, however. I don't care, he's still divine! - @Saturday, March 29, 2008 7:48 PM
