Summary: 4 Stars
I had forgotton what a great romantic, funny and poignant movie this was. It will make a great addition to our monthly "oldies" night we host for a few "oldie" friends!DVD Review: The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
Summary: 5 Stars
I have enjoyed The Ghost and Mrs. Muir for many years. I never tire of watching. It transports me back to a more gentle time. I use George Sanders character's traits in one of my books. A good cup of hot tea and a quiet time of viewing this movie is an excellant way to spend an afternoon. I now own this DVD so I can watch anytime I choose which is a luxury. DVD Review: Movies from Amazon.com
Summary: 5 Stars
What is great about Amazon is the large selection of dvds and cds from around the world. When I look for movies or music, I can choose from a wide variety of prices and conditions. Sometimes I want to give a gift that is new and other times get only a disc at a very low cost for myself. There are also many choices in shipping prices and speed of delivery. Now I can afford to have a video library and get the rare music I've always wanted. It doesn't get better than this.
The Ghoast and Mrs. Muir is a wonderful adventure into the other side of life. How love endures through eternity. These are great classics that we used to have to wait years to see on tv. Not only is the story compelling but the scenic beauty of life on the coast of England is heart warming.

Description of The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
A romance between a young widow and a sea captain's ghost weaves a magical tale of immortal love. Determined to live her life the way she wants, newly widowed Lucy Muir (Gene Tierney) declines her straitlaced in-laws demand that she live with them and moves with her daughter (a young Natalie Wood) to the seaside into a cottage haunted by the handsome, blustering Captain Gregg (Rex Harrison). A deal is struck between the two in the wee hours of the morning allowing Lucy to stay in the house and the captain to materalize only in the master bedroom. As they gradually get to know each other better, Lucy's spunk and stubborness gains first the captain's grudging respect, then his heart. But when another man woos Lucy, both must face that her future lies with the living, not in the spirit world.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
