Ghost Town poster

Overview

Bertram Pincus, a cranky, people-hating Manhattan dentist, develops the unwelcome ability to see dead people. Really annoying dead people. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy, a smooth-talking ghost, who pesters him into a romantic scheme involving his widow Gwen. They are soon entangled in a hilarious predicament between the now and the hereafter!

00:25:32 That would be truly rotten luck for my wife
00:29:38 I'll talk to them for you, get them to leave you alone.

00:45:15 Still together?
00:48:44 They're in desperate need of modern dental care.
00:52:39 I found him at this shelter in Long Island.
00:56:28 Oh, be quiet! Let them talk. You could learn something.
01:00:41 - Saw what? - Just enough to know.
01:04:31 Can you believe? And, of course
01:08:15 Excuse me.
01:11:56 Our time together, as we both know, has been rather unpleasant.
01:15:33 but when I turned around to make it back to the top

01:32:38 Yeah.
03:00:06 if you don't want
