Old Mother Riley's Ghosts

Although Dennis Wyndham - One-Eyed Joe from 'Oh! Mr Porter' - actually features in this Old Mother Riley vehicle, he here plays a sympathetic role helping John Stuart as Kitty's debonair Mr Wright (yes, he's actually called that!) with his invention the baddies dress up as ghosts to steal.

Every expense has plainly been spared (the spooky castle staffed by an eyeball-rolling John Laurie - looking even older here than he did years later in 'Dad's Army' - in which the second act plays out presumably a standing set), but this turns out to be (despite what my predecessor on this board claims) an above-average Mother Riley vehicle on which Arthur Lucan worked overtime both providing additional dialogue and comedy scenes but also doubling up (and adopting a stutter) as one of the crooks.
