The screenplay was by Edward Dryhurst. Based on a play by Alan Melville. I would love to see the play.
Earl of Locharne (David Tomlinson), and his two devoted servants, Boss Trent (Helen Cherry), and Menzies (Ewan Roberts), are having trouble keeping the old castle economically afloat. Adding to the mix is that the castle is probably going to be requisitioned by the government.
Hopefully, to save the day, a distant relative, Mrs. Clodfelter Dunne, is interested in purchasing the castle. Throw in a resident ghost, Ermyntrude (Patricia Dainton), and we have the making of a comedy of misunderstandings and whatnot.
Do not miss Margaret Rutherford in this play and in the movie “Blithe Spirit” (1945).
