Robert Donat (the younger "Glourie") is on good form in this enjoyably daft ghostly caper that sees the son of the chief of a cowardly Scottish clan condemned to haunt his castle until their sworn enemy the "McLaggen" takes an oath declaring that one "Glourie" is worth fifty of them. This all started in 12th century Scotland, so our hero is somewhat frustrated that he will never find a "McLaggen" let alone get him to make the promise by the time … read the rest.
