Watch The Ghost and Mrs. Muir For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR is a romantic comedy with a supernatural twist. The statuesque Gene Tierney moves into a seaside comedy only to discover that it's already occupied in the form of Rex Harrison's gruff but friendly ghost who has designs on her. Said ghost proceeds to interfere in Mrs. Muir's life in various ways while she seeks to get the upper hand and also falls in love with an Englishman, as played by George Sanders. This well-shot effort is slight but fine-looking, part of a way of similarly light and breezy supernatural films that came out in the late 1940s after the dark and devastating war days.

Eschewing grand proclamations of passion and overblown romance, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947) is a lovely, quiet little film that gets under your skin. I have watched it multiple times over the years and it never gets old. Due to the lovers being a living woman and a ghostly man, their attraction is based more on intellectual and emotional affinity than sexual passion, though that does not stop the sexual tension from being there. The atmosphere is windy and moody, conveyed to perfection through the black and white cinematography and music score by Bernard Hermann. Combined with Gene Tierney's performance as the independent young widow and a very virile Rex Harrison as the ghostly sea captain who inspires her to write a book about his adventures, this is one of the best cinematic romances out there.

Honestly, this is the all-time best romance movie ever made. Ever. Totally flawless. If you like romances, just watch this and you won't be disappointed. It's just so good. So wonderful and heartfelt without being maudlin or sappy, and, not to mention, also with an element of comedy. Thank goodness that it was made in black and white, because it adds the perfect atmosphere for this movie--color would emphatically not be an improvement. And, yes, this is the basis for the TV series, which I grew up on, and was really very good also. Really, I'm a guy, and I watch plenty of modern violent films, but If you don't tear up a bit at the end of this film, there's something wrong with you.
