The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)

Gene Tierney is a delight in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, and even Rex Harrison's usual masculine bravado is sort of charming. Charming, incidentally, is the correct word for The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, a strange, pleasurable fantasy of a film that is impeccably directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, as he moves deftly between romance, comedy, and drama. This is really lovely, and its photography is gorgeous.
