Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Maggie Smith and Michael Caine had previously starred together in 1978's 'California Suite'—this reunion let them weaponize decades of chemistry into petty ghost bickering.
Released in 1998, this bombed theatrically but became cable TV comfort food, embodying that weird late-90s trend of prestige actors slumming in supernatural rom-coms.
