Black & White movie. In World War 2, American GIs are camped out in an old European Castle.
One night, while the troops are sleeping, a mist poors through a keyhole, & forms a headless ghost. The ghost holds out his severed head & lets out a maniacal cackle. The soldiers wake up in terror. One of the frightened soldiers was sleeping with his sheet over his head & wearing a gas mask. When the ghost sees this, he screams in horror, puts his head back on, & disappears back through the keyhole.
I don't remember much else, but at some point, the ghost ends up befriending one of the soldiers. The soldier is also friends with a little girl, whom I think was named Ladia (lady-uh).
In the climax, the soldier spots a loan German parachute falling, & he & the ghost go to investigate. What they find is a large bomb the soldier calls a block buster. For some reason, the ghost has a fit of depression, which incites Ladia & she starts kicking the bomb. When the soldier admonishes her to stop, the bomb starts ticking. The soldier cuts the parachute lines from the bomb & ties it to his jeep, driving maniacally through his camp, then jumps out just before his jeep, with the bomb in tow, runs over a cliff.
The movie ends with the ghost & the soldier marching back to the castle, as they sing a victory song. Once there, the ghost goes into this enlightened mood, I assume meaning the he just realized he can go to Heaven now, & disappears.
that's all I remember. tanx
