A classic supernatural art film directed and produced by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, nominated for the 1948 Oscar for Best Cinematography! Gene Tierney plays a strong-willed widow who insists on living independently with her daughter after her husband's death, and decides to move into a haunted house. The house is indeed inhabited by the ghost of a captain, who died accidentally from asphyxiation and was rumored to have committed suicide. Unwilling to leave, he continues to haunt his old home, hoping to "scare away" the occupants. However, the widow is not frightened away; with the help of the captain's ghost, she becomes a bestselling novelist. Unfortunately, she later falls into the trap of a womanizing writer and breaks up with the captain, only to reunite at the moment of her death many years later. This love story between a human and a ghost is both amusing and romantic, with distinctly characterized leads creating quite an engaging dramatic tension. Rex Harrison as the captain and Natalie Wood, then a child star, as the daughter both deliver excellent performances, and the cinematography and score are also of high quality.
