Review of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947) by Andy C — 07 Jun 2010
Beautifully filmed, old fashioned escapism about a widow who begins a new life in a recently purchased house and discovers the previous owner has not completely left. Classic romance is emotionally engaging in a way that only a movie of the 1940s can be.
Gene Tierney radiates sophisticated beauty and Rex Harrison inhabits his role convincingly as the old salt. Some shrewd supporting work from George Sanders as an author who is also taken with the young woman.
Classic veteran director Joseph L. Mankiewicz directs with polish and flair. A real throwback to a more innocent era. If the ending doesn't move you, please see a doctor.
