Where to Watch High Spirits
- Peter Bickford26 mei 2026Amiable 80s fluff featuring the always-watchable O'Toole, with community theater-level performances from the rest of the cast (including a relatively young Liam Neeson as a jealous--and frankly sort of geeky--ghost. His 90s and beyond gravitas are entirely absent here--shockingly so).
- ርልዪረ1 augustus 2025This 1988 comedy about an Irish hotelier who decides to market his castle based on rumors that it's haunted is sadly underrated on IMDB. OK, it's a farce, which few Americans appreciate; and yes, there are some gags that don't work; and yes, Daryl Hannah turns in one of her lesser performances. But there are another dozen actors/actresses in the cast who are wonderful comedians, led by Peter O'Toole--who's as funny as he's ever been--and including Beverly D'Angelo, Steve Guttenberg, Jennifer Tilly, Peter Gallagher, Connie Booth, and Liam Neeson. I've watched it three times over the years, and every time I've thought it was funny. Worth a look.
