Das Gespenst von Canterville (1944)

Das Gespenst von Canterville: Directed by Jules Dassin, Norman Z. McLeod. With Charles Laughton, Robert Young, Margaret O’Brien, William Gargan. The descendent of a ghost imprisoned for cowardice hopes to free the spirit by displaying courage when under duress.

“This review is somewhat biased, as I am an avid Robert Young fan, and have yet to see him in a less than stellar performance. Margaret Ou0026#39;Brien is also splendid, and it is hard to believe so much talent projects out of a six year old girl. Charles Laughton is memorable in his fine delivery of both pathos and comedic skills.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA highlight of the film for me is the music played by the G.I.s. at a local party. Music is classic 40u0026#39;s 8 to the bar, visually punctuated with awesome jitterbugging by the soldiers. A proper female British spectator comments to an incredulous priest, u0026quot;I believe they call it woogie boogie.u0026quot; It is unknown what what the song title or who the recording artists may have been, however credits list original music for the film as provided by George Bassman.”
