The Canterville Ghost (1986) UK/US Integrated Cut
Published 2023-06-28
Probably the most A-typical version of Oscar Wilde's story but by far my favourite of the ones I have seen. And that's saying something because the legend that was Rik Mayall is in the Patrick Stewart one!
I was really hoping that the excellent (and now sadly defunct) Network DVD in the UK would do an official release of the UK cut on DVD/Blu-Ray.

How truly wonderful to see Sir John Gielgud, forever in our memories and our hearts. ⚘

"We Americans & You English Sure Have A Lot In Common" ."Except Of Course Our Language ". All these years later & that still makes me laugh. Also the Geoffrey the Parrot joke about him being upside down as he's doing Yoga 🧘♂️ hilarious & witty.

The actors would have been FREEZING during this movie. It looks so cold for real.

What a great idea. One hears of movies that have been chopped up, but less frequently of ones that have been put back together. :face-blue-wide-eyes:

I remember when I first saw this one on TV and I had it taped and since then I watched it 2 or3 times after that I lost my version in a fire and this is the 1st time I've seen it in years

This used to air on Australian TV every Easter Saturday at midday. Childhood memories...

I'm in the US and have seen this movie a million times, as it was one of my favorites as a kid! So it's very interesting to see these missing scenes in it after all these years .Thank you for posting!

Thanks so much for seamlessly merging the two versions together it's so very much appreciated especially adding the UK cut of the castle grounds and special effects at the beginning & of course the fantastic John Gielgud and his wonderful poetry reciting and ghost appearance. I was so angry & disappointed to see that it had been cut.

Such a cool old movie. Oh how I miss these movies. My first but not last time to watch this movie.

Wow, never saw that short little before-the-credits intro before. ...Anyone that wants to leave me a castle like that is welcome to do so!
