This is actually rather better than I was expecting - though by no means can it really be called good. Cliff Robertson is the avaricious "Ballard" whose wife "Dominique" is the object of his rather terminal desires. After repeated attempts to do away with her, she finally saves him the trouble and d ... oes the job herself. Thing is, once she has reached the safety of the "other side" she determines that he is not about to enjoy her fortune, so she returns to haunt the living daylights out of him! We've a top drawer full of supporting operators - Dame Flora Robson, Judy Gleeson, Ron Moody and Jenny Agutter delivering well to keep up the mystique. It's probably all the more enjoyable because we must all be on the side of the avenging spectre, nobody could ever like "Ballard" and so a plentiful helping of just desserts seems eminently well deserved. Simmons isn't really challenged by either the part, or the script, nor does the overpowering score allow the acting to crystallise properly either but it is still a decent effort based on stories we have all seen before, and to see two Hollywood stars still holding their own as the technology-driven 1980s loom, is still worth watching.
