Blithe Spirit (1945)

October Challenge Day 26

Nothing quite like kicking off a Saturday morning, all curled up and with nowhere to go, like a classic ghost story! Let's talk about:



Oh, this one is cute *dated* but cute. 

Here we have the story of a man and his second wife, just living their best life kinda making fun of mediums as entertainment. So they host a dinner and have a medium come over. 

And oops. The spirit of his first wife appears! She's wrecking havoc in the house and to the marriage. Just being a little menace. 

It's all cheeky, with fast talkers and witty lines - throw in some casual domestic violence... yikes. 

It's not bad - it's not great! I actually thought I would like it more, though. I imagine seeing this in its original play format would have been wildly entertaining, now that I think about it. 

In all this is a perfect pick for a lazy morning. Lounge in your best lounge wear, practice your transatlantic accent over coffee or an expensive port. 

I watched this film on Amazon Prime, or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to see where else you can find this tickler of a spooky feature.
