Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Noel Coward's favourite play, Blithe Spirit, was certainly a departure for David Lean, best known at the time for adapting Dickens. While it's the director's only comedy, the result is a delightful gem. Rex Harrison is an acerbic author haunted by the ghost of first wife Elvira (Kay Hammond), who tries to seduce him all over again. This throws his second wife (Constance Cummings) into a panic, second-guessing her lack of passion. It's a celestial sex romp that hasn't lost its bite. Margaret Rutherford, as always, steals the show as the sardonic medium. --Bill Desowitz

Rating: - Ghostly charmer!
Blithe is a wonderful word to describe this movie. A charming vehicle for the three stars; Rex Harrison, Kay Cummings and, especially, Margaret Rutherford.

Rating: - Perfection
Great screenplay, great acting.
This is comedy drama at its very very best.
If they ever tried to remake this it would be a disaster - this stands as a perfect version of an absolutely brilliant Play.
Dont even think twice about buying it.
Brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant.

Rating: - Blithe Spirit
Fantastically witty and funny play by Noel Coward set in the 1940's when good manners, charm and elegance seem to be the norm not a thing of the past!

A small dinner party is held for a medium - Madam Arcarti(spiritualist)to show off her skills. To the assembled couples it's all just a bit of fun to liven up the dinner. However, the dead wife (Elvira)of Charles Condomine is conjured up during the seance.

The fun now begins with his mischievous, minx of a dead wife causing ... Read More
