Movie Reviews

Monthly Film Bulletin - 8/10 by MFB CriticsA cheerfully-handled comedy, containing elements of fantasy and satire, about an ancient Scottish castle which is bought up by an American millionaire and shipped to America to be re-erected, complete with eighteenth-century ghost.
The Spectator - 7/10 by Graham GreeneThe silly story, the gross misuse of Clair's peculiar qualities, were forgotten in my admiration for his camera sense. In no other film this year has there been the same feeling of mobility, of visual freedom.
User Review - 10/10 by Jo Ymy all time favourite black and white movie. set in scotland for the first part of the movie sets up the story. a scottish ancestor who is not allowed into heaven until he reclaims honour to the Glourie name. the film takes you through a web of love, respect and honesty. Another fantastic Robert Donat film
User Review - 8/10 by Timothy MAnother fantasy by Clair. Original and fun- just wish the copy I watched had better sound on it.
User Review - 8/10 by Byron BLively, original and quite funny, this frothy comedy about a Scottish castle who's ghost is transplanted to America when its castle is moved stone-by-stone to Florida has a whimsical quality and includes some of the best talent of Hollywood's golden age notably director Rene Clair and quietly elegant Robert Donat.
User Review - 6/10 by Ian DHehehe. I haven't seen this since I was a kid. American's had such odd ideas about the Scots. Silly fun.
User Review - 4/10 by Mark SIt's hard to believe that this contrived effort was the highest grossing film in the UK in the year of its release, and that Robert Donat chose this material to follow his hit The 39 Steps. It's not so difficult to get how the film dropped off the radar and isn't held in as high esteem as some of Donat's other films.
