Audience Reviews for The Canterville Ghost

  • Jul 18, 2007
    In a great family oriented ghost story the three principals, Charles Laughton, Margaret O'Brien and Robert Young, all uphold their part in this very well-rounded tale like the legs of a three-legged stool. A coward is cursed to unrest for eternity unless a blood kin relative can redeem him. Should be easy, right? A justified family classic for good reason.
