THE GHOST GOES WEST is one of those genteel supernatural comedies that Hollywood and Britain were so fond of making back in the day. A lot of its charm comes from the presence of Robert Donat in the cast, playing a friendly ghost who finds himself transported to Florida when his ancestral Scottish castle is literally shipped, brick by brick, to America. Dated shenanigans ensue in this quiet character piece, with an emphasis on character comedy and amusingly offbeat hijinks. Donat is a delight and matched by the equally delightful Elsa Lanchester who has a moderately large role.
