Looking for an old black and white movie/musical about a dead man and his daughter?


I saw this black and white movie a long time ago and this is what I can remember of it: A criminal is killed and (I believe) goes to heaven and sees that his daughter is growing up and becoming a trouble maker so he goes back down to earth as a ghost (I think only she can see him but I'm not sure) and tries to steer her in the right direction. I think it was a musical but I'm not sure! Thanks!!

As Cindy_Lu points, sounds like "Carousel"; the non-musical and black and white original is "Liliom".

Check also "That's the Spirit"

Glad to be of help. Report It

It sounds like "Carousel", but it's not B/W. It was a musical and the plot is pretty much as you say.
