Ghosts in purgatory try to save souls by corrupting prudish banker.

"Hysterical movie, great characters, and watch for ghosts carrying Roland Young through lobby of hotel. Plenty of social commentary -- totally politically incorrect. My all-time favorite comedy...."

💡 Did You Know?

Most of this film's physical humor, much of which played off of his character interacting with an "invisible" Cary Grant and Constance Bennett, fell to character actor Roland Young, who was rewarded with an Oscar nomination as Best Supporting Actor for his hilarious performance.
