A CLASSICALLY 'HAUNTING'LOVE STORY December 1, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This movie is one of my favourites. Gene Tierney is so beautifully genteel as Lucy and Rex Harrison is properly gruff as Captain Gregg. The direction and scenery are terrific, as are the writing,acting and photography;it's a beautifully made film in every aspect.Edna Best is very good as the housekeeper. Get some kleenex for the finale.Afer Lucy dies in her chair,Gregg appears and takes her hand ("Come with me m'dear, and be tired no more")* Lucy's spirit, once up,looks back at the tired old woman in the seat and walks away with Harrison, eternally 24.*Words to that effect, anyway;funny how we remember lines differently when we see films over again!

Truly a wonderful adptation. Gene Tierney portrays Lucy Muir fantastically as a strong widow determined not to let anyon use her anymore. Rex Harrison is a perfect Capt. Daniel Greg, hot-tempred yet containing a layer of charm which makes you love him. Best scene; when he wishes her good bye and leans over the bed to whisper his final adieu. He is thisclose to kissing her but doesn't. His restraint is the most romantic thing to make your stomach flip. The ending is a perfect completion to their love.
A Stunningly Beautiful Movie September 21, 1999

This movie is like magic on screen. If you like any of the old classics, purchase it immediately! Don't expect the illusions of computer generated graphics like today. Mrs. Muir ages with remarkably smooth skin, and Captain Gregg isn't very ghostly. But that's not the point of the movie. This is a movie about love.

I never fully realized the strength and character of this movie, until I saw an episode of the thin, and rather weak TV show. There is truly NO comparing them. In the movie, Captain Gregg(played by Rex Harrison) is potrayed as he is meant to be: hot tempered and crusty, but with a charm all his own. Ditto for Gene Tierney's Mrs. Muir. There is an exceptional chemistry between the two stars that makes this ghostly romance seem entirely possible. One of the finest movies ever made. If you have ever seen the TV show, I recommend this movie: this is the REAL story. These are the REAL characters. If you've never seen the TV show watch this first, why settle for less? Everthing that makes this movie so great, the joy, the sadness, the lonliess, and the romantic charm and hidden, unspoken(but VERY obvious) love, is missing from the TV show. This is a movie that after seeing once, you'll think of it for days.
Beautiful and touching! July 31, 1999
This movie is very interesting. It is hauntingly beautiful. It is a story about romance,tradgedy,family and everything in between.
