A young woman (Pamela Payton Wright) feels the presence of a ghost in the family residence. When the man (Frank Converse) she loves marries her younger sister (Susan Sarandon) instead of her, the presence of the ghost becomes more intense. Based on the short story THE ROMANCE OF CERTAIN OLD CLOTHES by Henry James and directed by Lela Swift (DARK SHADOWS). Originally done for television on a miniscule budget (it's shot on videotape rather than film), the film barely manages a Gothic atmosphere not unlike Henry James' most famous ghost story THE TURN OF THE SCREW and that's its strongest asset. The heroine isn't very likeable so were not much interested in her fate but the ending is quite satisfying. With Beatrice Straight and Dennis Jay Higgins.
