Cast

Critical reception

Allmovie described it as "an amiable entry in the 1940s cycle of "ghost comedies"...Don't Take It to Heart received almost uniformly good reviews from the British press, which during wartime was often resistant to comedy films" ;[2] and TV Guide wrote, "the talented leads are supported by a fine cast of character actors." [3]
