This is a fairly well made film about a young couple moving into a house that is said to be haunted.
Patricia Dainton stars as Jean Linton, a young woman who has inherited a house that may be haunted. She and her husband David (Tony Wright) hopes this move will inspire him to get a book he is working on done and finally bring in some money.
David meets a young woman and hires her to do his typing and soon they are having an affair. Her name is Valerie (Sandra Dorne) and she tries to convince David to kill his wife.
David decides to do just this as he has fallen out of love with his wife. However, the trouble starts when David tries to kill Jean by pushing her down an elevator shaft and the door suddenly closes and prevents this disaster.
Jean learns from the housekeeper that a ghost inhabits the house. It seems this ghost likes Jean and is doing what it can to protect her. David becomes frustrated in his attempts to kill Jean.
Thus, this sets up a great little battle of wits between ghost and man. This is a great little plot line and a good story to boot. I enjoyed this British production directed by the ever reliable Montgomery Tully.
The rest of the cast includes Sam Kydd, Derek Aylward, Anita Sharp-Bolster and Llewellyn Rees.
