It’s
been many years since I’ve watched
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, a 1947 paranormal
romance (yes, they existed back then too), starring Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison,
and George Sanders (you may not recognize him till you hear his voice, and then
realize ‘My stars and garters, it’s the voice of Shere Kahn’). I still remembered it being a sad movie to me
as a kid, and still remembered the main events of the plot. But it’s always fun as an adult to watch
movies you saw as a kid, and see how your reaction might change.
Well, I’m
happy to report that I still think The Ghost and Mrs. Muir is a very good, sweet
film. Now, if you just want to watch the
movie completely cold (well, other than you already know there’s going to be a
ghost, Mrs. Muir, and some romance), read no further. Otherwise, I’m going to drop some minor
spoilers in the next paragraph (probably no more than what you’d read on the
back of the vhs or dvd).
