Steve Hayes reviews the 1947 classic, which includes child star Natalie Wood in one of her earliest roles:
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.

Feel the same about Gene Tierney in "The Razor's Edge," one of my all-time favorites. Seems we have the same taste in movies. Tear up every time Maureen O'hara and John Wayne reunite in Rio Grande. Guess I'm a terminal romantic.
They don't make 'em like they used to, that's for sure.
