- CLASSIC MOVIE REVIEW: Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison portray star crossed lovers living in different worlds in one of the most romantic ghost stories ever filmed; Joseph L. Mankiweicz's "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir." Set in Cornwall at the turn of the Twentieth Century, a young widow rents the cottage of a dead sea captain , only to discover that his spirit is still very much alive. This produces a battle of wits and wills, that eventually turns to love thanks to a brilliant cast, marvelous direction, shimmering cinematography and a luscious score by Bernard Herrmann. It's the perfect picture to warm up a cold autumn night.

Thanks to Wayne Wilson aka Toyuki1 for this wonderful animation! / toyuki
Steve, you hit the nail with this one. It is enchanting, haunting and romantic beyond measure. Gene Tierney is ethereal almost more than the ghost. And then the music is the icing on the cake. I have the soundtrack and I listen to it all the time. I live close enough to the ocean that sometimes I can hear the surf and it's nice to hear the mix of the soundtrack mixing with the real life waves. Love your enthusiasm, keep them coming.
That sounds so lovely! Thank you for watching!
Thanks so much for doing this one. It's so beautiful. That finale...with Herrmann's exquisite music...makes me sob every time. Just timeless.
I love this score. One of the GREAT romantic movies.
This movie would ever so rarely show on tv when I was a child in the early 70's, and I was always mesmerized. And the music definitely is one of the main characters.
Gorgeous score by Bernard Herrmann. You can get the soundtrack on Amazon. Lovely romantic music for a lovely romantic film.
I love this guy... makes me laugh. I've seen most of the films he talks about, and I think his comments spot on.
Thanks, Jackie!
This would make a nice double feature with PORTRAIT OF JENNIE. Interesting that Gene Tierney (the most beautiful woman who ever lived), played a "ghost" that Dana Andrews falls for in LAURA, while here she plays a woman who falls for a ghost.
I'm a sucker for women with overbites. Brooke Adams comes immediately to mind. Sadly, the first version of the theme from LAURA that I ever heard was Spike Jones version, which doesn't conjure up anything remotely romantic.
@@jackgrattan1447 Beware of Spike Jones!
Interesting. Thanks for watching!
TCM should put YOU on their payroll!
+Stephanie Campbell Exactly. Are you listening, Robert Osborne...........................?
LOL!
I absolutely love this movie and never grow get tired of watching it. It contains my absolute favorite #1 film score. I think it's Hermann's best and works perfectly in this film .
It's so lovely!
Your reviews bring out the joy of, and magic in, these movies.
Steve, just to let you know. Every two or three months, I have to come back and play this review on UA-cam. It is one of my favorite films. However, I love the sequence where you rhapsodize on Bernard Herrmann's score and you play a few bars just a little so everyone can hear pure musical perfection. Thank you. Gracias. Grazie. Spasibo (or however Boris Badenov spells it).
A+ again, Steve! Gene Tierney is in 4 of my 100 favorite movies, and you mentioned all 4. This soundtrack is simply the most beautiful ever. When that ending theme swells ( " Come, Lucia. Come...m'dear") and they float down the stairs and out the door, I'm like Alice, drowning in a pool of my own tears.
The ultimate romantic fantasy from the ultimate romantic period in movies. Perfection.
This film is one of my favorites, too! 😍 A true romantic picture.
Masterpiece.
i fell passionately in love with gene tierney and rex harrison after viewing when i was a pre-teen. what can one say about 'the shanghai gesture'; tierney absolutely sparkled.
You said it!
Steve, I LOVE the narrative technique of saying hello to "Johnny"--makes your videos especially intimate--its like he's in the audience too!
Thank you SO much for watching! Please tell your friends. Do me a favor and push the "LIKE" button. Much appreciated!!
@plainviewboy
I agree. She's beginning to be more appreciated for her acting than simply her beauty. The film's direction is also so tight. There are few places where it slows down, even during the scenes which take her away from the house and Rex. Thanks so much for watching!
Needed a fix of “Tired Old Queen at the Movies”. Will have to watch this again. Thanks Steve.
Hooray! I'm a "fixer'!
Probably my favorite romance on screen...and that's saying a lot!
Read the book...you'll love it even more!!!!
thanks for the book recommendation I shall look out for it.
Always in favor of the films you celebrate. Special thanks for pointing out the accompanying music by composer Bernard Herrmann. It did indeed take the film to emotional heights. Happy New Year! Much affection.
Dear Steve; I can never understand how that score didn't win an Oscar. It wasn't even nominated! All I can think is that the very, prickly Bernard muct have made alot of enemies. Not one of his Hitchcock scores was ever nominated either. I could go on and on about this particular oversight, but ...instead, I'll thank you so much for watching and hope you have a lovely, SAFE New Years! Best Wishes; Steve
One of my very favorites. Thanks, Steve!
My pleasure! Steve
Omg,the music I fell in love with the captain.Would love to live in that house,it is perfection to me.
The great romantic/fantasy film of the '40's. I agree, Bernard Herrmann's scores lifetd every movie to another level.
Wish you had your own tv show.
OMG, one of my all time fave films.
MINE TOO!
oh golly, this movie makes me cry Every Time. I LOVED it so much, I watched the tv show religiously when I was a kid.
I don't normally cry at movies, but the ending of this movie did it to me.
Love this movie so much. Proves a sexy romance doesn't need any actual contact. And that score!
It was Berbard Herrmann's favorite score. The ultimate romantic film.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ I can see why!
I have a CD of the soundtrack. The soundtrack on its own is superb.
Like all Bernard Herrmann scores, it's above and beyond perfection. Steve
Your intense passion and knowledge of these movies never ceases to thrill me, my darling friend. xoox, Patti
Another great review if a wonderful movie⭐️
Thank you so much!
@zamusicza
Me too. I thought she should have been nominated for this one as well. She's so radiant and her character has a wonderful arc, which is difficult to pull off.
Your impressions are spot on!!
Thank you for the loveky compliment and thanks so much for watching! Best; Steve
Dear Steve, Loved your review. This is the first one I have seen and I have to say you really did not seem at all tired.
Thank you SO much for watching! Please tell your friends. Do me a favor and push the "LIKE" button. Much appreciated!!
Wonderful movie indeed, a great review too.
Yes The Ghost & Mrs. Muir is indeed a very special movie. It definitely had top talent working on it. From Director Joseph L. Mankiewicz, to Bernard Herrmann's gorgeous soundtrack with superlative cinematography by Charles Lang. Not to take anything away from any of these great talents but the movie almost feels like a David O. Selznick or Sam Goldwyn effort rather than a 20th Century Fox studio picture. Not to say 20th Century Fox couldn't make upper tier movies, but I think you know what I mean. There's very definitely an elevated quality level to this film. Definitely one of 20th's prestige pictures for the year. Like so many other people have commented on below, I too have a special place in my heart for this movie as well as The Portrait of Jennie also mentioned in other's comments. The two films do somehow compliment each other. Interestingly enough, Portrait was produced by Selznick. Portrait came out a year after Ghost so I wonder if Selznick was influenced by the tone of Ghost. Guess we'll never know. As usual Mr. Hayes, you entertain and educate and spur me on to diving deeper into the world of classic movies.
Another movie I have always heard of but haven't seen until now. Thanks again for your recommendation
Simply lovely. Sop romantic.
Love your reviews! Thanks.
Thank you SO much for watching! Please tell your friends. Do me a favor and push the "LIKE" button. Much appreciated!!
Dear Steve, you're so right in every praise you give to this film - it's irresistible, and despite the superb score and the love between the ghost and the living woman it never falls into the trap of being sickly sweet. Rex Harrison, who in reality was an absolute terror with women, is so wonderful in this that you believe he only wants the best for Gene Tierney, especially when he makes her forget him. Oh, the plot and the score and the acting and the direction - it doesn't get better or more emotional than this! Rex Harrison, when he chose, could be a very good actor and I note that one of your fans here has asked you to review "Blythe Spirit", as I have elsewhere - if only to see Margaret Rutherford walk away with the film. But you mention that he was in "Anna and the King of Siam", which I too have seen, and which was extraordinary casting, physically, but I bet Yul Brynner watched it, because the way Rex pronounced "Et-cet-er-a" over and over is exactly how Yul Brynner did it when he played the role so perfectly in "The King and I". Thank you for another delicious review. Best wishes, Alida
Plus, "Anna and the King Of Siam" has two of my favorites, both Linda Darnell and Gale Sondergaard in wonderful roles. Gale recieved her second and final nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her lovely, subtle performance in this and then was blacklisted a year later. Damned McCarthy!!! I have to admit, I never "got" Rex Harrison and this is the only film I ever liked him in. He always seemed so snide and supercilious and I couldn't believe he wasn't gay. Plus he destroyed so many lovely women. His ex,- Lilli Palmer ,wrote about him extensively in her wonderful autobiography ; " Change Lobsters and Dance", which is still one of my favorite show biz bios and he was loathsome. I love "Blythe Spirit" and think he's perfect in the role, because the character is again, just like him. A nasty piece of work.In "Mrs Muir", I'll grant you, again, it works and I could never understand how this lovely romantic film wasn't up for countless Oscars, Tierney especially. She was always underrated. Incidentally, Robert Osborne told me she was his favorite actress. At his memorial they showed eight clips of his favorite moments in movies. Most were from musicals, but one was Gene Tiereny decending the staircase for a waiiting Tyrone Power in " The Razor's Edge" with him saying ; " I've never seen you more beautiful. ' Indeed, Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Dear Steve, I went to the publication party in London for "Change Lobsters and Dance" (agree with you, wonderful book) and had the delight and privilege of meeting Lilli Palmer, who incredibly still looked absolutely lovely. Rex was an utter swine and the only person he ever loved (male or female) was himself. Best wishes, Alida
What a charming movie, I just watched it the other day! I agree with all the other comments about Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison. I'd also like to point out the lovely score by Bernard Hermann. The music melds so perfectly with the action on the screen. Thanks for reviewing this one, Steve.

Excellent review. I've seen the film several times and highly recommend it, too.

Wonderful review,informative and entertaining.

I adored this movie and had such a crush on Rex in this.
I agree. This is the only film of his I've ever really liked him in. He's so romantic. The rest of the time, he's like a more handsome version of Clifton Webb.
The music is almost like a major character in this film, this beautiful film, that is!
I totally agree!
I read somewhere that this along with Portrait of Jennie always had an effect on Hitchcock and he did his sort of drama version in Vertigo.
Could be. Both are about obession, a theme that runs through almost all his films in one for or another; "Rebecca", "The Paradine Case", " Shadow Of A Doubt", "Rope", "Rear Window", Strangers On A Train" and on and on.
I do adore this one, too, and for all the reasons you stated.
Thank you SO much for watching! Please tell your friends. Do me a favor and push the "LIKE" button. Much appreciated!!
Thanks TOQ, I was not aware that this was first a movie. I only dimly recall the TV show from the late 60's with the same title.
Yes, and this one weaves such a lovely romantic spell. The music will make you swoon.
I absolutely love Rex Harrison in this movie. Gene Tierney is beautiful.
Yes, they made a delightful team. I'd venture to say it's just about my favorite romance of the pereiod.
Gene Tierney was fabulous! Looks like the original barbie and midge dolls.
They are Gene dolls and are designed by my friend Mel Odom. I love th Hollywood glamour they bring to the place and the proceedings! Happy New era and thanks so much for watching & Happy New Year! Steve
@robcop993
She always looked spectacular in period costumes. You couldn't take your eyes off her. Darryl F. Zanuck, head of 20th Century Fox, thought she was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen.
This is one of my very favorite films with probably my favorite actress next to Meryl Streep.
I love Gene too!

It's on my "To Do List".

Happy Thanksgiving, Honey!
Was Gene Tierney ever more beautiful? Or Rex Harrison? I needed a touch of beauty and this was my tonic!
When you need a tonic, Gene Rierney is the perfect chaser.
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ 😂
Have to agree with you it touched me so soulfully as a child
SO romantic. I love it too. Steve
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ do you know where l could buy it from ?

@@annabia5805 Amazon.com and they usually offer previously viemuch wed copies available for less and I've had very good luck with them. Enjoy and thanks for watching! Best; Steve
My brothers favourite film.
I always like Gene and this and "Leave Her to Heaven" are my two favorites. I was never a fan of Rex, but this and the effervescent "Blithe Spirit", he fits the bill. However, the wonderful and ethereal Kay Hammond and funny has hell, Margaret Rutherford stole that film right from under him. Constance Cummings was lovely (absolutely loved, loved, loved her green dress at the dinner party) and she was originally from my hometown. I know that you are reviewing "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir", but could you please review this other delightful ghost story, "Blithe Spirit"?
I'll be happy to! "Blythe Spirit" is on my list! Thanks so much! Steve
@@stevenhayes4063 Thanks, so much Steve. This is my favorite version, so charming and delightful I had to buy it on Amazon Prime streaming since I couldn't find the DVD for the US region anywhere.
love your videos!
I loved the tv show Ghost & Mrs, Muir.. I am sharing them on a blog. hope you approve.
I do whole heartedly! Thanks so much!
Sounds like one of the best movies of 1947
One of the best romatic fantasies ever filmed and the music will live in your head for days after. Glorious!
@@STEVEHAYESTOQ Nice!
Need to catch up with these classics!
Steve, what happened to your review of Laura? I was looking for it the other day and it's not on your channel anymore.
Somehow it got lost in the shuffle somewhere. It happens. Thanks so much!! So delghted you watch! Do you subscribe? If not, PLEASE do!
They don't make great movies like this anymore -
Gene was positively exquisite....
She was!
@Nemesis7293
Every movie with a Herrmann score is set apart, above and beyond the norm. Regardless of the quality of the film. Even something like "Garden Of Evil" has that incredible zing in the score that heightens everything. I also love "King Of the Kyhber Rifles". Great score for a mediocre adventure.
I agree on Herrmann, Steve. Though Herrmann broke in at RKO with Orson Welles, he really become a star composer when Alfred Newman snatched him up for Fox. Starting with "Jane Eyre" and then advancing up to "Anna and the King of Siam," "Hangover Square" and "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir," his work for Newman was jaw-dropping excellent.
A terrific old movie! See this and you'll ultimately forgive Rex Harrison for making "Doctor Doolittle."
Not quite.
SHANGHAI GESTURE ! SHANGHAI GESTURE ! SHANGHAI GESTURE !
No. Nope. Not gonna do it. Sorry.
Ok but thats more a reaction than a review. Not a single actual in depth review with behind the scenes trivia and such to be found online for such a timeless masterpiece. I guess we’ll have to wait for Steven Spielberg to do a useless remake in order to revive interest in it.
