Watch The Spirit Is Willing For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I recall this film when I was a child and wondered why it has never been shown on TV. Is there a site I can access it to view again does anyone know? has there recently been a remake did someone say? I recall laughing a lot at it and have often wondered why it has not been released for general view again. it was a funny film and spooky funnies are good. I have hazy memories of it but I think it was rather slapstick and in a lovely New England setting. of course, it might have contained things which today we consider sexist, I can't recall, but some of the comments imply the content may be a little suspect. However, as a child I enjoyed it.

"The Spirit Is Willing" is very funny.This is a late 60's William Castle ghost comedy which has Sid Caesar in a cast.Of course the film isn't as good as earlier Castle's horror films like "House on Haunted Hill","Macabre" or "Thirteen Ghosts",but the level of humour is really high,so everyone who enjoy good horror/comedies won't be disappointed.7 out of 10-still if you want something truly creepy check out "Macabre" or "Homicidal" first!

I would love to see this movie again, I saw it once as a kid, and have always wanted to see it again. I wonder how much my perception has changed since then. I fear that I might think it's horrible now, compared to my fond childhood memory of it. Why do I think so highly of this film? I don't even know. That may be a question in itself. All I know is, the film couldn't have been so bad that they wouldn't put it out on video or DVD, hell they've put everything else out. If anybody knows how I can see this film again please notify me. . It was very nice to read the other comments from other people who liked this film as well. Now, suddenly I don't feel so alone in the universe.-Joe

Certain movies can stick with you after years and years.I've only seen "The Spirit is Willing" two or three times, probably most often on the CBS Late Night Movies. (That was way back in the Stone Age, when Carson was the only late-night talk show. I was probably in elementary or junior high school and would stay up way too late to watch the movies that started at 10:30 Central time. But enough about that.)"The Spirit is Willing" was one of those silly, harmless comedies so fondly remembered. It had the hapless dad, the loving mother and the teenage son who was smarter than either, except when it came to the romance department.What teenage boy wouldn't want to live in a house with a beautiful and sexy blonde ghost?! Oh, and of course, he had a beautiful blond girlfriend who looked just like the ghost!!This is a movie the way they used to be made! Not hilarious, but definitely funny ... a guilty pleasure. (Now if only it would be re-released!)
