A Gothic comedy, featuring a distinguished cast, and starring Leslie Phillips and Margaret Tyzack. Retired colonial army officer George Thacker has high hopes of recapturing his memories of an idyllic English village life after a lifetime of meting out justice in the Far East. But instead of peace and quiet, he is greeted by violence, voodoo and a distressed damsel, brandishing a shotgun. Worst of all, the ghost of his old flame, Edith, still haunts him, threatening both his marriage and his life. It blends comedy elements. The film reflects a distinct United Kingdom style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Richard Spence. With a runtime of 1h 24m, it offers a concise viewing experience.
The main cast includes Leslie Phillips, Margaret Tyzack and Graham Crowden. Behind the camera, the film is directed by Richard Spence, written by Tony McNabb, produced by Hilary Salmon.
