- The film's whimsy is a bit heavy-handed and it is short on wit, style and ingenuity. Yet most of it is pleasant enough fun, and pretty to watch.
- 'The Ghost and Mrs. Muir' easily could have stumbled into melodrama or dramedy. It works as well as it does because of understatement, and it's still a charming and captivating film more than 60 years later.
- [Tierney's] her somewhat stiff presence seems appropriate to the formality of the period while her astonishing beauty is only enhanced by the many layers of clothing women were expected to wear at the time.
- Charming family classic is also thought-provoking.

It didn't move me as much as I think it should have.- Top fantasy film of any time; featuring Rex Harrison, Gene Tierney.

Classic fantasy with charming, haunting performances- [A] charming tale of two lost and lonely souls, one of which just happens to be dead, who take some grudging comfort in each other's presence.

An out-of-this world love story; Tierney was never more beautiful; Harrison never as rugged or handsome. A timeless treasure.- Lyrical, touching romance, carmingly old-fashioned
- Most notable for its effortless shifts in tone, starting out as a charming comedy before segueing into a melodrama ... and finally erupting as a deeply affecting tragedy capped by a redemptive ending.
- Plays as a surprisingly pedestrian romance offset by one sweet performance from Tierney and one salty dog turn from Harrison.

While a product of the Hollywood studio system, the film is a remarkable piece of thoughtful moviemaking for adults.- ...a romantic, sentimental, totally heartwarming film that gets better as the years go by.
- ...director Joseph L. Mankiewicz's 1947 postwar love letter to the world.

About The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
The Ghost And Mrs Muir Movie
The basis for Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s cinematic romance starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison.
Burdened by debt after her husband’s death, Lucy Muir insists on moving into the very cheap Gull Cottage in the quaint seaside village of Whitecliff, despite multiple warnings that the house is haunted. Upon discovering the rumors to be true, the young widow ends up forming a special companionship with the ghost of handsome former sea captain Daniel Gregg. Through the struggles of supporting her children, seeking out romance from the wrong places, and working to publish the captain’s story as a book, Blood and Swash, Lucy finds in her secret relationship with Captain Gregg a comfort and blossoming love she never could have predicted.
Originally published in 1945, made into a movie in 1947, and later adapted into a television sitcom in 1968, this romantic tale explores how love can develop without boundaries, both in this life and beyond.
With a new foreword by Adriana Trigiani.
