This is quite a charming little whimsical tale of the impoverished "Earl of Locharne" (David Tomlinson) who has to fend off socialist coal board agent (Brian Oulton) from requisitioning (for free) his stately pile whilst he sells it - and it's ghost - to a wealthy American divorcée (Barbara Kelly) who's also on the look out for a husband too! It's a fun little romp from Alan Melville's play with good solid performances from Tomlinson, as well as Helen Cherry as his frustrated housekeeper and Margaret Rutherford as the bonkers "Miss Nicholson" who spends much of her time trying to prove that the Earl is really the rightful King of Scots! It's a gentle parody of all things Scottish that raises a smile, if not a belly laugh - and is still worth watching.
