Review of The Ghost

The Ghost (1963)
5/10
Things Going Bump In The Night
22 April 2011
The Ghost finds Barbara Steele and Peter Baldwin as the lady of the house and the live in physician doing a whole lot of kanoodling right under the nose of husband Elio Jotte. The husband has been lingering on death's door for some time and Steele and Baldwin would just like it if were to go just do it quickly so they can start spending the fortune Jotte's alleged to have left.

There does come a point when the two decide to hurry things a long and even raise a few eyebrows among the neighborhood when Baldwin continues to live at the estate. But when all kinds of things start to go bump in the night the relationship starts to come apart at the seams. Housekeeper Harriet Medin who is the only other person living in the estate is loyal to her late master and makes no attempt to conceal her disgust with Steele and Baldwin.

The Ghost is an Italian production with foreign players from the USA and UK and is not too bad in the thrill department. It won't give any competition to Alfred Hitchcock. Might however for William Caste.
