isla s I found this quite amusing, with Arthur Askey playing the comic Tommy Gander - most of the comedy comes from him (although not all). The characters are varied and mostly quite pleasant. The comedy is quite gentle (as said, amusing not hilarious) but it certainly entertained me regardless. Its quite a warm hearted film I suppose. The old fashioned special effects/visual effects add a sort of quaintness to it. I enjoyed this film, how the characters both bickered and got on with one another and everything. I would recommend it.

By the way as of 2020 that still happens people still talk to you complete strangers that you have no interest in talking to. Give somebody an inch and they'll take a mile. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The best surprise in The Ghost Train is that it is not a horror movie as its title and premise would have you believe. It is a comedy and an unexpectedly funny one. Arthur Askey's humor is not at all modern but is just as funny as anything put out today, if not in the same way. His constant joking and buffoonery elevate the movie from being another uninspired 40s horror/mystery. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Given it's age a wonderful example of its time and primarily a vehicle for Arthur Askey to display his comedy skills. It''s impossible not to laugh at the (now) corny jokes and admire the timing. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review kevin w This Brit WW2 feature about travellers stranded by a storm and faced with the imminent arrival of a purported ghost train is derailed by its focus on music hall personality Arthur Askey who has just about one of the most annoying schticks as you are as like to run into. A minute of his"snappy patter" is like an eternity and, although many onscreen characters threaten to halt his antics, no one does. I wanted to murder the director. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review martin a A great film, great cast and story however Arthur Askey is painful to watch. and his comedy has dated badly Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
