Overview
The Amazing Mr. Blunden is a family and fantasy film released in 1972. The story begins when a mysterious old solicitor named Mr. Blunden visits Mrs. Allen and her young children in their squalid, tiny Camden Town flat and makes her an offer she cannot refuse. Following this visit, the family becomes the housekeepers to a derelict country mansion in the charge of the solicitors. While staying at the property, the children one day meet the spirits of two other children who died in the mansion nearly a hundred years prior. The children then prepare a magic potion that allows them to travel backwards in time to the era of the ghost children. The film follows the children as they attempt to help their new friends and face the consequences of their actions in the past.
