This features quite a charming effort from the young Sarah Hollis Andrews as "Alice", an orphan who goes to live with her uncle "George" (Ronald Adam). Once at his spooky old home, she starts to see a spectre that appears, then disappears. What's going on? The film has something of an episode of "Scooby Do" to it - it becomes fairly clear to us early early on what is going on, though quite how these apparitions are being manifested is quite intriguing. The Children's Film Foundation in the UK made many of these mid-budget stories that amiably showcased the talents of young actors, usually with one or two established character actors to stabilise the rougher edges of their performances. In this case, the whole things glides along well for an hour, and is an easy film to watch.
