High Spirits (1988)
7/10
Everything is improbable, and also non-stop laughs!
13 June 2001
Warning: Spoilers
When family patriarch Peter Plunket is notified that the American who holds the mortgage on his family castle is going to foreclose to move it to America as part of a theme park, he desperately decides to try this himself by advertising that the castle is haunted. The rich mortgage holder sends his daughter and son-in-law (who's relationship is strained anyway) to investigate this claim, and determine his chances of successfully paying the mortgage. After attempts to fake hauntings fail miserably, it turns out there really are ghosts, and they aren't happy! Peter O'Toole should have gotten an Oscar as Peter Plunket, and the supporting cast includes some top performers.
