THINGS HAPPEN AT NIGHT(1948)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics

The things going on at night are furnature being
turned over, coals thrown around, pictures being
turned around, strange noises etc.! It appears
there's a poltergiest in the house!! A lot of
humor! B

A review from IMDb.com:

This film has a wonderful cast of comedy actors
but alas in the end they are let down by an
uninspired script and some fairly amateurish
"Special effects".Despite the fact that Harker,
Hare and Drayton are amongst my favourite actors
of this era even they fail to cause me to burst
out laughing during this rather lame effort.
Basically the story is of an attempt to exorcise
a poltergeist which is terrorising a family.
It of course is very easy to guess where the
spirit emanates from.The writers unfortunately
seemed to have run out of ideas once they had
thought out the basic premise.It can be seen
on the new satellite channel in the UK
ACTIONMOVIES.Lots more 50s British films
on this and MOVIES4MEN if you are
