A spirited morning

Ghosts Before Breakfast (1928)

Directed by Hans Richter this film stars Werner Graeff, Walter Gronostay and Paul Hindemith. Various people try to go about their morning routine but are hampered by unseen ghosts.

There is a lot of fun trick photography to enjoy here but that is about the limit of this film. For such a care free and silly film it is odd to see that this is one the Nazis singled out for banning but I suppose that just goes to show how stupid the Nazis were. If you enjoy some of the early films of Georges Melies then this is one for you.
