Pasquale Lojacono (Vittorio Gassman) and his wife Maria (Sophia Loren) have no money, nowhere to live and no future until they are allowed to live rent-free in a cursed apartment haunted by an old Spanish nobleman's ghost.
Questi Fantasmi played U. S. theaters under this title so that people would remember Loren in Marriage Italian Style. In fact, her co-star from that movie, Marcello Mastroianni, shows up in as a headless ghost at the end. This film was produced by Sophia's husband, Carlo Ponti. You know, the man who brought us both Dr. Zhivago and Torso.
Maria's past love, Alfredo (Mario Adorf) shows up to try and win her back from her recently fired opera singer husband, who thinks that he's not a living person, but the ghost.
Directed by the writer of Marriage, Italian Style, Renato Castellani, this has a huge list of writers who worked on the script, including Castellani, Adriano Baracco, Piero De Bernardi and Tonino Guerra, based on a play by Italian writer Eduardo De Filippo.
This is a goofy farce that didn't do well at the box office in Italy or America. But hey, here it is on the CBS Late Movie!
