“You invite mockery, Charles”
She’s not wrong…

Wouldn’t Elvira have to convince Charles to get re-married since traditionally the wedding vows state “Until death do us part”🤔

Sir Noël Coward refused to sell the play (the script can be read for free here https://archive.org/details/blithespiritimpr0000cowa_d5g3) to be made into a Hollywood film b/c he hated previous American stage versions of “Blithe Spirit”. That said he really wanted Myrna Loy to play Elvira but rat bastard Louis B. Mayer refused to loan her out so Kay Hammond was cast instead

Who amongst us hasn’t walked in to see our husband asleep on the sofa with the ghost of his first wife!

Looks like this second marriage is about to also become a ghost

Instead of using double exposure/Pepper’s Ghost techniques to do the ghosts they used special makeup & wardrobe and lighting to achieve a really interesting take on ghosts
