The Ghost and Mrs. Muir is one of those films I never get tired of watching, no matter how many times I have seen it.
The acting is superb: Gene Tierney is outstanding, projecting the perfect amount of strength, vulnerability and pathos at each key moment of the film. Rex Harrison is more than her equal, and the two project an instant on-screen chemistry without being over the top. Harrison's soliloquy to Tierney, where she is asleep and he whispers to her that he is a dream, is masterful.
Even George Saunders, as the smarmy married author, plays his part perfectly.
Beautifully filmed on the central California coast, this film is a complete joy from start to finish, and will leave you touched with its beauty and sensitivity. A true Hollywood classic that actually gets better as the years go on.
