The Ghost and Mrs. Muir

Join our monthly “Book to Movie Night.” This month's feature is The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

This classic romantic fantasy starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison is based on the R.A. Dick novel. In the early 1900's, widow Lucy Muir and and her young daughter (Natalie Wood) rent the reputedly haunted Gull Cottage. Soon after, the ghost of handsome sea captain Daniel Gregg, the former owner appears to Lucy. They eventually form a companionable relationship with each other. When Lucy learns that her income has been depleted, she and the captain collaborate on writing and publishing his memoirs with the proceeds going to her. The book becomes a best seller, enabling Lucy to buy Gull Cottage. While working on the book, Lucy and the Captain realize that they have fallen in love with each other, but know that it is pointless. Captain Gregg leaves Lucy so that she can find a "live" man. Lucy does so, but finds heartbreak in the relationship. She retreats to Gull Cottage and quietly spends the remainder of her life there. This film is not rated.
