The Ghost Goes West (1935) is a British romantic comedy/fantasy film starring Robert Donat, Jean Parker, and Eugene Pallette, and directed by Rene Clair, his first English-language film. The film contrasts an Old World ghost dealing with American vulgarity.
This rather cosmopolitan production combines an Hungarian-born British producer, a French director, and an American writer in a British film. This movie was the biggest grossing movie in 1936 in Great Britain.
Peggy Martin (Parker), the daughter of a rich American businessman (Pallette), persuades him to purchase a Scottish castle from Donald Glourie (Donat), disassemble it, and move it to Florida. Along with the castle goes its ghost.
Murdoch Glourie (Donat again) haunts the castle after dying a coward’s death in the 18th century. To find rest, he must get a descendant of the enemy Clan MacClaggan to admit that one Glourie is worth fifty MacClaggans.
