Скачать или смотреть The Ghost Train 1941 British Horror Comedy Mystery Thriller - Richard Murdoch, Kathleen Harrison

Eight characters travelling on a GWR Express Train, become stranded in a Railway waiting room overnight in Cornwall, in this British Comedy Haunted Thriller.

This entertaining British film offers a delightful glimpse into a buy-gone age, in a classic story motif, played out in a haunted train station, part comedy, part mystery.

Arthur Askey might not be to everyone's taste, but this film has genuine charm, and as it progresses, true mystery, enjoy...

I edited the video to improve the quality here and there, for your viewing pleasure :)

Insights:
Production
The first sound film version was released in 1931 with Jack Hulbert. The Askey version was announced in August 1939.[3] The script had to be rewritten to accommodate Askey; the actions of Hulbert's part were divided between the comic star and Richard Murdoch.[4]

Filming did not proceed immediately; in January 1941 reports said Carol Reed would direct and Edward Black would produce.[5] Eventually the job of directing went to Walter Forde who had made the earlier sound version.

Filming began in February 1941. It was an early role for Carole Lynn who had been discovered dancing on the West End.[6] Shooting took place at the Lime Grove Studios in Shepherd's Bush, with sets designed by the art director Alex Vetchinsky. Some location shots were also taken around Teignmouth and Dawlish Warren in Devon.

Reviews
The Monthly Film Bulletin described it as "a classy thriller".[7]

Sight & Sound called it "funnier and more ghostly than the original".[8]

In the 21st century, TV Guide.com noted the film was "good for a few laughs and a couple of chilling surprises."[9]

Soundtrack
Arthur Askey – "The Seaside Band" (Written by Kenneth Blain) – (UK DECCA F 9944 10" 78 rpm shellac PICTURE LABELS)[10]

I added original subtitles for all the languages I could find, in this case, English, Spanish, and Portuguese (Brazilian), YouTube should automatically translate those into other languages quite well.
