GHOST OF A CHANCE is a gentle Children's Film Foundation comedy worth watching for the cast alone, as they've coerced various British comedy actors to appear in this one. The story, in which three kids are trying to save a derelict mansion from being bulldozed so they can turn it into a youth club - and are aided in their quest by Patricia Hayes - is very slight and easily forgotten as the focus of the film and majority of the scenes are about workmen being thwarted by mischievous spirits. Jimmy Edwards and Graham Stark are the 17th century ghosts, Ronnie Barker is the boss, and Terry Scott and Bernard Cribbins play the hapless employees. Not bad!
