Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s powerful romantic gem, "rich in human warmth and moments
of rare humor," (Variety) brought together screen legends Gene Tierney and Rex
Harrison.
Recent widow Lucy Muir (Tierney) rents a house by the ocean,
which turns out to be haunted by a cantankerous sea captain (Harrison). Although
difficult at first, their friendship blossoms and the captain even "ghostwrites"
an autobiographical book to bring in money for her.
Eventually, the unlikely
pair fall in love, only to be challenged when a flesh-and-blood suitor (George
Sanders) appears on the scene.
With its heartwarming screenplay and
Oscar-nominated cinematography, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir is a moving classic in
Hollywood’s best style.
