Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

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.

Widower Gene Tierney (Lucy) is looking for a house so she buys a haunted one! Of course. Well, you would, wouldn't you? The house is haunted by crusty sea dog Rex Harrison (Daniel) and he doesn't want anyone meddling on his property. However, he likes Gene so she can stay on and they form a friendship. He gives her an idea for an income before disappearing from her life as she finds a mortal love in George Sanders (Miles). Hold on, Sanders is always a cad, isn't he? This is a romantic film that mixes real life with the next world and the ending ties up things nicely. And of course this is actually what happens – love goes on forever. If you are a romantic, you'll enjoy this film. There is comedy and also a young Natalie Wood who gets to deliver ominous dialogue about liking the sea…….A lot of tragedies tied up with the cast of this film. Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison, George Sanders and Natalie Wood all have an unfortunate or scandalous story attached to them.Back to the film, it's easy-going and stays with you after it has finished.

It's heartbreaking to see a woman turn down somebody she could literally be with forever, over some lousy bastard, but that happens every day in 'real' life so it's easy to forget about the supernatural nature of Mrs. Muir's true love. It doesn't matter if he's real or not because Rex Harrison would charm your socks off. Mrs. Muir's haunted villa by the sea is a part of the most beautiful landscape that somehow evokes the memories of the love that's lost. I love the shots of the stormy sea. "Muir" is Scots Gaelic for "sea", so it makes a lot of sense for Mrs. Muir to become a sea captain's darling. Gene Tierney is perfectly cast as Mrs. Muir. If anyone wants to see male/female equity on film, I highly recommend this one.

I remember seeing the TV show when I was a kid, but the film is very good. The chemistry between the Captain Gregg and Mrs Muir is really good and makes me often laugh. To be a film from 1947 is surprising progressive for what concerns Mrs Muir character quest for independence; it is also progressive for the attitude to marriage (not necessarily happy) and having children (surprisingly Mrs Muir says having children is not an accomplishment (Anna happened) and Marta the maid agrees saying that is what her mother used to say too after 11 children. It's a bit disappointing that they meet again only when she dies of old age. I found all those years of solitude quite sad and I would have liked to see more of them together.Blast! Blast! Blast! :)
