As much as I looked forward to and really wanted to like Patrick Stewart's portrayal of Sir Simon de Canterville, it just fell flat when compared to this version of the ghost played by Sir John Gielgud. As another reviewer wrote "he is Delightful!" He knows how to embody an English aristocrat with the proper snobbery and yet he still brings a light sensitive humor to the role that is just perfect.
Ted Wass, Andrea Marcovicci and Alyssa Milano are well cast as a family that is struggling to come to terms with all the changes that have been thrown at them and although Ted can be a little over the top at times in other movies in this one he maintains just the right balance of humor without stepping over the line and ruining the tone of the move.
This is a "must see" for any fan of Sir John Gielgud!
