I think Gene Tierney and Vincent Price have excellent chemistry, so like, as much as I LOVE Rex Harrison and her in The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, I can't help but wonder what it would have been like if they'd given Captain Gregg another profession and put Vincent Price in the role instead.

If they do another Obi Wan series surely it can be nothing but Obi Wan trying to live his life whilst Qui Gon follows him everywhere and interferes. Like a sort of "Ghost and Mrs Muir" without the romance, just bros catching up and pulling practical jokes and falling out over the choice of curtains...

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)

A widow moves to the seaside where she allows a spectre of a dead sea captain to control her finances and possibly her love life.

As far as comedy and ghost stories go, this one isn’t as soppy as they traditionally come. Although there is sentimentality, particularly towards the end, it holds back just enough to focus on the character and what’s realistic for her life. The time device used was effective in relaying the movement through the years without stating it and the ageing scenes still felt in touch with the character we’ve followed.

There’s a terribly sinister aura regarding all the men in the film that leaves them lecherous and taints any romantic implications. They never respect personal space and dress any suggestions or compliments in unsolicited insults. The subtext ultimately feels more harmful than good since the main message is about wasting one’s living life on a dream that can’t be fulfilled until it’s too late.

Martha was an excellent inclusion as a character since she talks the most sense and has some amusing lines, not to mention being the only consistent and well-meaning companion. It’s interesting how the movie bypassed the censors to reference crudity like sailor language and sex without doing so outright.

Although there were some engaging lines which held the right moral intentions superficially, the majority is thin feminism from the perspectives of men and the results largely consist of disguised excuses for misogyny. There are copious micro aggressions that go unchallenged and even when taking the initiative our protagonist breaks into tears whenever in a male environment, which even her home turns out to be.

5/10 -Can’t find a better example of average-

-The novel the film is based on was written by a woman writing under a male pseudonym.

-The word “muir” is Gaelic for “sea”.

640 to go

Gun Crazy (1950, dir. Joseph H. Lewis): The comparisons to Bonnie and Clyde are unavoidable and not exactly in this film’s favor.

Shadows (1959, dir. John Cassavetes): Cassavetes was far ahead of his time in terms of experimental narrative film. A good film but not a great one, with some very interesting ideas.

Summer with Monika (1953, dir. Ingmar Bergman): This is why sex education is so important.

Chungking Express (1994, dir. Wong Kar-wai): I liked it a lot but I think I’m gonna need to rewatch it sober to fully appreciate it 🙈

Brief Encounter (1945, dir. David Lean): I thought the set-up was very interesting but I didn’t quite buy the main couple and the narration got to be way too much for me.

Far from Heaven (2002, dir. Todd Haynes): This movie kept reminding me of All That Heaven Allows. And turns out it was one of the main inspirations! The look of this film is impeccable and the melodrama is delicious, though the repeated emphasis on Julienne Moore being a good white woman who is Not At All Racist was kind of clumsy and distracting.

The Snake Pit (1948, dir. Anatole Litvak): Olivia de Havilland is a legend for a reason! I won’t say this film is a perfect portrait of mental illness but there were a lot of little behaviors that felt familiar to me from my work that I haven’t seen depicted like that in film before.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947, dir. Joseph L. Mankiewicz): I was so charmed by the synopsis and this movie did not let me down! I didn’t expect how melancholic it would be but obviously that just made it better.

Dog Star Man (1965, dir. Stan Brakhage): What did I just watch.

Blow Up (1966, dir. Michelangelo Antonioni): Has there ever been a director who captures the ennui of the modern human condition like Antonioni?

Thinking about The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and how the ghost realizes she can't live a full life dreaming about him so when she sleeps one night he tells her everything between them was a dream and it makes you think what's sadder, the love that could never be or the love that was forgotten?

#the ghost and mrs muir #this movie makes me feral #my mom made me watch it when I was a kid and i didn't want to watch it #ninety minutes later I'm on the floor sobbing #FUCK ME IM STILL SOBBING #FUCK OFF TEARS I LIKE CRYING ALL BY MY LONESOME #THEN AT THE END THEY JUST LOOK AT EACH OTHER LIKE FINALLY #understanding #knowing #it says more than a thousand words

Review of The Ghost and Mrs Muir—Midcentury Ghost Romance

Would you move into a haunted cottage?
