Independent young widow Lucy Muir (the luminous Gene Tierney), desperate to escape her uptight in-laws, falls in love with a grand seaside house and moves in, only to discover the cantankerous ghost of the hot-tempered Captain Gregg (a histrionically flamboyant performance by Rex Harrison). Lucy refuses to let the bombastic captain frighten her away, earning his respect, his friendship, and later his love. They team up to turn the captain's salty memoirs into a bestseller, but as his affection grows he fades away, leaving Lucy free to undertake a more worldly suitor, notably a charismatic children's author (George Sanders at his smarmy smoothest) with his own guarded secret. Charles Lang's melancholy black-and-white photography and Bernard Herrmann's haunting score set the tone for this sublime adult drama, and Tierney delivers one of her most understated performances as the resolute Mrs. Muir. Mankiewicz turns this ghost story into a refreshingly mature and down-to-earth romance. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating: - The Ghost and Mrs. MuirA light hearted soft comedy with a wonderful ending that will require a couple tissues. You must have time to watch the whole picture to get the total effect of the movie. The acting is supurb and it is one of my all time favorites. Rating: - Wow what a great movieJust recently started watching old movies from well before my time and I'm surprised at how much better they are than much of what gets put out now. This could be one of if not the best movie ever (excluding the entire works of Humphrey Bogart-a class of thier own) Gene Tierney was amazing and the whole movie can't even be described it's so good-nothing at all can be said that comes close to the amazing range of feeling you get from this incredible film. Rating: - Wonderful Old MovieThis is a great old movie. Even my 17 year old son loves this movie. I don't know what it is about it, but we just love it. Rating: - The Ghost and Mrs MuirWonderful movie. It was great to see Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison together again. Enjoy it, as I did. Rating: - Love the movie!This was always one of my favorite movies. I had not seen it for many years and it still passes the test of time. Great movie! |
