Goofs
At 8 minutes Jean, David, and Mr. Foster are in the Dining Room. As Jean says "Didn't you feel any wind Mr. Foster" a dark shadow moves across the top of the window. Since ghosts, including Patrick, do not cast a shadow, the shadow is obviously from the movement of equipment.

Quotes

An attempted murder, a ghost named Patrick and Patricia Bainton make for an enjoyable b movie.

I enjoyed this unusual B movie, it's basically 75% domestic murder story, 25% supernatural thriller. Jean inherits a house, moves her drunken no good partner David in, and he meets someone else, a voluptuous blonde, Valerie Stockley. Valerie persuades David to kill his wife, but Jean is protected by a poltergheist, wonderfully named Patrick by the potty Irish maid Mrs O'Brien.

It's unusual to say the least, I can't think of many supernatural murder mysteries, but it works. Patricia Bainton appeared in some cracking films in the 50's and 60's, my favourite being The Third Alibi, and once again she's pretty good. Sandra Dorne is pretty fabulous it has to be said.

I'm struggling to believe it was made in 1960, it looks like it was should in the forties, production values are pretty poor, although the fire is pretty well done.
