The Ghost of St. Michael's***              

(GB 1941)         
Ealing. 74m(DVD version). bw

An evacuated school in a castle on the Isle of Skye becomes the target of mysterious deaths. A seedy science teacher and his cleverer pupils investigate.
Splendid wartime reworking of Oh Mr Porter! of which the murder plot is not worth a great deal attention, but the fine supporting cast and some typical Hay malapropisms more than hold the attention.
