Until the Geilgud version is released, this is the best adaptation
Review date: 2008-09-24 Rating: 8 out of 10
There have been several filmed adaptations of this classic ghost story. For me, the gentle humour of the version starring Sir John Geilgud was the best, but that has never been released on DVD. This version, however, is both different and is extrenely good. It is also faithful to the story and although the ending is slightly fudged because you never see the salvation of the ghost when he faces up to his inquistors in the realm of Death, everything else works extremely well.
