I never knew Oscar Wilde wrote this story before I watched it on DVD. Ian Richardson was terrific as Simon De Canterville. The cast is excellent especially Celia Imrie as the American Wife and Rolf Saxon as the rich American who bought the mansion and estate with its alleged ghosts. Edna Dore is a terrific British actress who appears here as the longtime housekeeper. Pauline Quirke played the psychic. As for the film, it is an engaging and entertaining story about an American family who buys into the manor. The film is probably more funny than frightening. I bought the DVD to see my favorite actor, Rolf Saxon, as Hiram Otis. The film is highly amusing and entertaining overall.
