The Canterville Ghost Part 1
When Mr Hiram B. Otis bought Canterville Chase everyone told him he was doing a very foolish thing, as there was no doubt at all that the place was haunted. It takes more than a 300-year-old ghost, however, to defeat the unquenchable spirit of an American family.

The feature film starring Dirk Bogarde, John Mills
Quantana, an isolated Mexican town, is terrorised by the bandit Anacleto. To maintain his power he murders people, making his way through the alphabet.... The arrival of a new priest brings about an inevitable confrontation between good and evil.... This unusual film, firmly established as a 'cult movie', is distinguished by its two central performances and the strong element of sexual ambiguity in Anacleto's obsessive love for the new priest.
Screenplay by nigel BALCHIN From the novel by AUDREY ERSKINE LINDOP
