Hello!
In 1958 my mother and uncle saw a movie they loved that they have been trying to rediscover for decades now.
It is a comedy and they say there is a scene with a ghost holding his own head that they remember clearly. Also, it involved an American family moving to somewhere in the UK.
They watched this movie on TV in 1958 while staying on an American military base in Holland. (There was an American Forces broadcasting network of some kind.)
Any help locating this movie for them would be greatly appreciated!
there is a scene like this in Oscar Wilde’s “The Canterville Ghost,” so maybe the 1944 adaptation, with Charles Laughton? the next one (1975) would be too late.
