the question of whether or not one like this film version of the ghost train invariably depend on one thing and one thing alone represent your reaction to the performance of arthur askey . he tend to steal almost every scene he in and and not always in a good way . sometimes you wish he would settle down or back off just a little and to allow the plot many character to feature and develop ( which they do to some extent ) . but somehow everything keep point back to askey tommy gander character . personally i like the film and and even like askey to an extent . i always seem to plonk it into the vcr at those odd hour of the early morning when i can not sleep and really can not find the energy to watch anything else . there be something about watch old b or w movie in the quiet dark of pre dawn that i find appeal .
