Dead of Night

Directed by Robert Hamer, Basil Dearden, Charles Crichton & Alberto Cavalcanti

A visitor to a manor house can’t shake off déjà vu when the guests begin to recount sinister experiences… Ealing Studios made a detour from comedy with this striking portmanteau blend of traditional ghost stories, a whimsical haunted golf course and, most memorably, a deeply disturbed ventriloquist.
