They say “true love never dies” and for one fussy, cantankerous novelist that is certainly true! In this spirited classic, Charles Condomine is a temperamental writer, who is haunted — literally — by the spirit of his first wife, the vivacious Elvira, after she is mistakenly summoned during a seance by a medium, Madame Arcati. Charles suddenly finds himself in the middle of a most otherworldly love triangle, between Elvira and his second wife Ruth, as both women vie for his affections. Elvira, however, is determined to have Charles all to herself, even if it means finding a way for him to join her in the afterlife. Lighthearted and endearing, this otherworldly story combines farce, emotion and wit to goosebump-giving effect.
