The Ghost Lady (1945)

Set in Spain's vibrant 18th century, this romantic comedy, masterfully directed by Luis Saslavsky, follows the journey of Doña Ángela, a young woman who, forced to choose between the convent and a suitable marriage, sets up an intricate charade to win over a handsome captain. Based on the play by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, it is notable for its splendid photography, enveloping score and a fantastic cast that adds depth to this comedy of deceit and desire.
