Über diesen Film

One brave act and the spell is broken! The specter of Sir Simon de Canterville has haunted Canterville Castle for 300 years, ever since he was walled up alive for cowardice. A daring deed by a kinsman will free his spirit. Unfortunately, the Cantervilles are a timorous lot and Simon is out of luck. Then World War II GIs are billeted at the castle and among them is Canterville descendent Cuffy Williams. But could Cuffy be cursed with the family lily liver? Charles Laughton (as the ghost), Robert Young (as Cuffy) and Margaret O'Brien (as the castle's six-year-old current owner) conjure peals of merry laughter out of an exuberant, ingenious comedy based on an Oscar Wilde tale and cleverly directed by Jules Dassin (Rififi, Topkapi).

This was my first black and white movie I watched. Its old school funny which I find makes me smile and my heart warm I think everyone should watch this at least once

Great movie! One of my favorite Charles Laughton films! I laughed, had tears, and laughed til I cried!!!

I love this this movie. I was very young when I first saw it and I am pleased that you have it in you collection of older movies.
