If you only know The Ghost and Mrs. Muir from the TV series, you need to watch this. If you only know Rex Harrison from My Fair Lady, you need to watch this. Harrison is dead sexy and the tone of the movie is romantic, melancholy,…

What I liked about old Hollywood movies is how relatable they are. Beautiful widow Gene Tierney moves into a seaside house only to find it haunted by its former inhabitant, a salty sea captain, played by Rex Harrison! She then finds…

The popular fantasy romance wins the hearts of its core fanbase by affirming that the only good man is a dead man. Gene Tierney is a widow (she didn’t care for her husband much) who rents a seaside cottage that turns out to be inhabited by…

An exquisite love story starring Rex Harrison, Gene Tierney, George Sanders, and a very young Natalie Wood. The seaside cottage setting is haunting. Have the tissues ready for this one.

From the moment this movie starts, I knew it was an instant winner with its mysterious score over the black and white 20th century logo. The Ghost and Mrs. Muir is a classic romantic fantasy with a twist of adventure. When Lucy Muir rents…

Although I enjoy many black-and-white film classics, this one failed to grab my interest. Upon my first viewing in 2018, "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" from 1947 now appears dated by contemporary standards of acting and production values.…

Glad to finally watch this classic and understand its popularity at the time (1947). The widow is spirited and independent, providing a good counterfoil to a (dead) spoiled sea captain who gradually accepts her, her daughter, and the…

GREAT 1947 movie with beautiful Gene Tierney at age 27 as Lucy Muir. Natalie Wood at age 9 plays Lucy's daughter Anna.
It's a terrific romantic fantasy drama adapted from the 1945 novel written by Josephine Leslie under the pseudonym of…

This film, shot in black and white, is now over 60 years old and I saw it for the first time. It is a decent film, and it helps if you believe in the existence of ghosts. I find Rex Harrison's 'Wolfman' voice a tad irritating. Other…

Make no mistake, this is pure gothic treacle with dollhouse interiors set against postcard seascapes and a swelling orchestral score keeping time with magnificently crashing waves. But director Joseph L. Mankiewicz doesn’t blink an eye as…

Here's the sixth, petercorell. A magical movie. Gene Tierney's forlorn "Lucia" was a woman of grace, courage, and conviction. Rex Harrison's crusty Captain Gregg -- a BLASTED scallywag (lol) with a heart of gold underneath al the…

As of today, September 9, 2014, there are five reviews of "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir". All five, including mine give the film five stars. That is quite a recommendation right there. Film buffs think this is the best acting performance of…

This is a great movie.
The performances, cinematography, and of course the music score, a true classic
