Blithe Spirit (1945) – DVD | Rex Harrison | Kay Hammond | Noel Coward Comedy Classic
His first wife is dead. His second wife is very much alive. And his first wife just came back to haunt them both. Based on Noël Coward’s beloved stage play and directed by David Lean, Blithe Spirit is a sparkling and wickedly funny 1945 supernatural comedy starring Rex Harrison as a novelist whose comfortable second marriage is thrown into delightful chaos when a séance accidentally summons the ghost of his first wife — visible only to him.
Featuring a scene-stealing performance by Kay Hammond as the irrepressible ghost Elvira and Margaret Rutherford as the magnificently eccentric medium Madame Arcati, Blithe Spirit won the Academy Award for Best Special Effects and remains one of the wittiest and most charming British comedies ever made. A must-own collectible DVD for fans of Noël Coward, David Lean, Rex Harrison, and classic British comedy cinema.
