7/10

Quite an imaginative story.

A couple enjoying The Ghost Train at a funfair are disturbed when the young woman believes she saw a dead body besides the track during the ride.

I've seen a couple of these now, and I'd argue that this is perhaps the best of them. It's an interesting storyline, with a good set of characters, intriguing case, and a good set of suspects.

Best scene, perhaps the department store theft and transformation, quite imaginative.

Look out for a young Carole Anne Ford, who plays the girl who saw the body on The Ghost Train, and also look out for Angela Browne, who played a Police Sergeant.

Once again, seeing the shops and fashions of the time is a real treat. Look how smart people were back then, not a tracksuit or pair of jogging bottoms in sight.

7/10.
