Stunning Technicolor photography; beautifully clipped dialogue; artful direction; superb staging and sharp, stylised performances make for a dark, funny, comedic masterpiece.
A ghost doesn't like her husband's new wife.
3/4 (Good)
It's fun and it's funny, but I'm disappointed that it's not a romantic comedy.
