The Ghost Train is a 1931 British comedy thriller film directed by Walter Forde and starring Jack Hulbert, Cicely Courtneidge and Ann Todd.[1] It is based on the play The Ghost Train by Arnold Ridley. The film's art direction was by Walter Murton.
Thought to have been lost, parts of the film (5 reels of images with 2 reels of sound) were found and rescued from a very decayed state as a result of a British Film Institute campaign in 1992 to locate missing movies. [2]
