Joseph Mankiewicz's moody classic is less ghost story than romantic fantasy, a handsome 1947 drama of impossible love set on the picturesque turn-of-the-century New England coast. 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

There is something else to this movie. Something between the lines. A counterpoint message that whispers to the soul.

I first watched this movie when I was little with my Mom. I grew to love it and have always wanted it. I got my youngest daughter to watch it with me...and the tradition goes on...she loves it too. I love to watch it over and over...it's like an old friend coming to visit and comfort.

This is a timeless "chick-flick"...The movie has no off-color language or scenes, the humor is subtle but still, well, humorous! I love well-done romantic stories and this one is beautifully composed including the acting. I can see where it was easily expanded into a TV series, which was equally as loved. I suspect it was canceled because the viewing public and TV producers became more interested in harsher "reality" programming.
Very enjoyable April 12, 2009

I absolutely loved watching this movie. Great performances by every one invovled, very sweet story line - almost thought the heroine would marry the man of her dreams(a suave charming George Sanders), without giving too much away. I only thought the ending was rather cheesy, could have been more subtle and something coudl have done about Rex Harrison's appearance as a ghost, he looks too human. I absolutely loved the beach scenes although in black and white, and Gene Tierney's looks and costumes would wow any girl to this day.Definitely a keeper.
