1. • • A good-natured and endearingly overstated comedy that thrives in its absurdity. Based on a Noel Coward play, Blithe Spirit is full of the playful spirit of the great writer, and is quintessentially British too. The outfits, the dialogue, and even Charles Condomine's mustache, are all over-the-top, but this is a film very much played for laughs.

   Is Blithe Spirit a good movie?

   • If you've seen it live, you know it works. David Lean's 1945 film adaptation, starring Rex Harrison, Margaret Rutherford, Constance Cummings and Kay Hammond, is charming, although something is lost in translation there too. (It wasn't a box office success.) It may be that Blithe Spirit just works better for a live audience.

   Is Blithe Spirit a comedy?

   • Self-pity is not only not dramatic (it's a very weak choice, in general), it's also not funny, and "Blithe Spirit" is supposed to be a comedy. There's nothing funny about a bunch of people moaning about their lot in life. Coward's characters are many things, but one thing they are not—ever—is self-pitying.

   Why is Blithe Spirit so unfunny?

   • Edward Hall ’s new adaptation of Noël Coward ’s play Blithe Spirit is so aggressively un-funny it might make audiences unfamiliar with the script's successful track record wonder why it was ever a success in the first place. Of all the movie's sins, this is the biggest. Coward requires a light touch and nerves of steel.
