High Spirits is a 1988 fantasy comedy film written and 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, County 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.
Pros: Peter O’Toole! Darryl Hannah!
Cons: Steve Guttenberg
Not a Steve Guttenberg fan? He’s fine in High Spirits, and hard to avoid in the 80s!
Meh. I don’t really have an opinion. He’s just not great and seems mis-matched working with Peter O’Toole. I didn’t actually watch this after posting it, tbh, but I’m glad others enjoyed it.
