GHOST STORY (1981)
Stars are Fred Astaire, John Houseman, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and Melvyn Douglas as the elderly men with the dark secret. The supporting cast includes Alice Krige as the mystery lady, Craig Wasson, Patricia Neal, and Tim Choate.

This is the final feature film for Melvyn Douglas, Fred Astaire, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. At least they were able to bow out with wonderful performances from a film that hasn't been forgotten.

Here's the link to the IMDB site. I deleted the summary because it contains a spoiler:

Here's a non-revealing review from IMDB:
I read Peter Straub's book and was quite pleased with the result of the movie. First of all, like many, I loved the cast. They are all great men of the world cinema and the pull off the story with great aplomb. The movie is about something someone does in his or her youth and then must live with forever. In a good ghost story, the characters get no points for being once youthful and reckless. The fact that they meet and share their stories means that they never seem to intend closure. They never allow themselves to face the music and, hence, the revenge of the spirit is acceptable in the world where they find themselves. I just thought that a society devoted to the telling of ghost stories was a great idea. Anyway, while the plot does wander around a bit and it takes time to get to the point, it still works great. It was nice to see that Fred Astaire could still act (because he was such a great dancer we forget that he had a great comic talent and, in this case, a dramatic talent). The others are equally formidable. There are also some pretty slimy, putrid visions that appear and make for a pretty good rank on the jump scale. The actual scene that explains everything (I won't spoil it) is both sad and revealing. While not the greatest movie, it works very well and I would recommend it.

It is rather a good film, if only for the wonderful cast. I saw it twice in the theater and can say that there are some "jump" moments.
