Spellbound, (AKA ' Passing Clouds '), (1941), is a British drama film directed by John Harlow. The film is based on the 1909 novel The Necromancers by Robert Hugh Benson.[1] The film was released in the US in 1945 under the titles of Ghost Story and The Spell of Amy Nugent to avoid confusion with Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound, released later in 1945.
