The Ghost and Mrs Muir (1947) (U)
Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney star in this charming romantic fantasy about a young widow who abandons her old life and moves to a cottage by the sea.
Defying her conventional in-laws, young widow Lucy Muir (Gene Tierney) leaves London with her young daughter and moves away for a quieter life in a secluded seaside cottage. Lucy discovers the ghost of the deceased former owner, sea captain Daniel Gregg (Rex Harrison), is haunting the house, but gathers the courage to stand up to him, and woman and ghost become friends. Faced with dwindling means of support, Lucy agrees to the Captain’s challenge to write his colorful life story.

Reviews
A hugely charming film... beautifully shot (by Charles Lang), superbly acted and with a haunting score by Bernard Herrmann.
This is one of those movies that reminds you how good Hollywood used to be with faces, as Lang's gorgeous monochrome close‑ups of Tierney and Harrison fill the screen.
