English Summary:
High Spirits is a 1988 fantasy comedy film directed by Neil Jordan and starring Steve Guttenberg, Daryl Hannah, Beverly D'Angelo, Liam Neeson and Peter O'Toole. It is an Irish, British and American co-production.
Set in a remote Irish castle called Dromore Castle, Co. Limerick, High Spirits is a topsy-turvy comedy with thematic leanings towards Ireland's rich folklore regarding ghosts and spirits, where the castle starts to come to life with the help of such denizens.
Peter O'Toole is Peter Plunkett, the owner of a dilapidated Irish castle which has been converted to a bed and breakfast supplying the only employment for the local villagers. Owing money to an Irish-American businessman by the name of Brogan, Plunkett has the idea to turn the castle into "the most haunted castle in Europe" for the tourist trade, inspired by his mother's stories of the castle's history of ghosts. He and his wacky staff of Irish characters set about creating ghost costumes and effects for their first group of American lodgers.
Hungarian Summary:
Nem akármilyen kastélyt örökölt Peter Plunkett, valószínűleg a világ leglepukkantabb, legkoszosabb, legviharvertebb romhalmazát, amely valahol az Isten háta mögött áll Írországban. De ami még rosszabb, ezzel együtt még egy nagy összegű tartozás is a nyakába szakadt. De Peter barátunkat nem ejtették a fejére: szellemkastélyként hirdeti a kócerájt azoknak a hülye jenki turistáknak, akik képesek nagy pénzt kifizetni a kamu szellemjárásokért. Arra viszont nem számít, hogy a turistákkal együtt néhány valódi szellem is beköltözik a kastélyba...
