Customer Ratings & Reviews

This film from Hollywood's Golden Age presents a very thought-provoking story of the interaction, over time, between a widow and the ghost of a sea captain who haunts her seaside cottage. The plotline delicately deals with "haunting" questions such as: Can a living human fall in love with a deceased soul? Can the decedent love her in return? If so, what does that even mean? Where can it go? How can one prevent it, or stop it? How does it all end? The acting is, of course, first-rate, as one would expect from this cast (Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney). I was particularly impressed by Harrison's vocals: Unlike his fastidious manner of speech in My Fair Lady, his voice in this film is low and guttural, as befits a gruff pipe-smoking sea captain. Tierney's performance perfectly combines old-fashioned gentility with modern independence. The DVD played fine, but I then upgraded the quality to high-definition via Vudu's Disc-to-Digital program.

I remember watching this film as a child-I guess I was an old soul, because I loved & still love watching old films. And of course it was even more intriguing as a child because it involved the sea captain ghost. Gene Tierney Has always been a favorite movie star of mine & shines here with her co-star, Rex Harrison. Viewing this movie now as an adult, I see this movie as a beautiful love story & don’t think of it just as a ghost story as I did as a kid. The music score & cinematography are outstanding. And the ending is endearing-I won’t spoil the ending for those who have never seen it. You MUST see this movie!

A classic, "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" features a beautiful widow in search of a cottage by the beach for her and her daughter. She finds it and discovers the builder, a sea-captain, has died but still lives in it as a ghost. The sea-captain dictates a memoir to her primarily so she can get it published to earn enough to buy the cottage, which she does. When the widow meets another author and falls in love, the ghost leaves the cottage. Without giving away the ending, anyone who enjoys an unusual love story will enjoy this film.

I have quite a few older movies on VHS that I do not want to lose. However, as technology has changed and continues to change, I need to replace my VHS movies with DVDs. I was just perusing Best Buy because I had some points that were going to expire. Found this DVD (one of my VHS movies). Couldn't believe I found it! It was in a bin and I was swishing around in it hoping I would find one that I wanted. Very happy on this find!

When I was young , I would watch movies on my fathers TV in my parents bedroom. This movie came on and I was hooked, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir was its name.I feel in love with it, I have searched quit a few places for this and found it at Best Buy. I will tell you , once you watch this movie you will feel like you are there with them and will be mesmerized by watching it.Just like I was.

This movie is timeless. IT is a great date night movie for all ages. Often we ignore old movies thinking that they can't rival the special effects and over-the-top production values of newer movies. They are different things. Give the old movies a try. This is a peaceful movie. If you just want to relax and have an uplifting experience try it.

Have loved this movie since I first saw it as a child. It was also the inspiration for the comedy series of the same name. Wish the would do a release of that. If you love sea stores, romances and just good old fashioned great film making this is for you. Plus how can you go wrong with Rex Harrison and Gene Tierney? One of the great ones!

Very interesting about a woman who meets a ghostly man. A man whom she should have met when he was alive but neither knew the other existed. The end was very pleasant for the woman as the man appeared to lead her to her eternal destination.

Well-acted, well-written, well-made old classic of manly ghost who falls in love with lovely woman with child. Natalie Wood played child in very early role. Woman's romance, but, as a man, I enjoyed it equally as well-made well-paced classic.

In case people are misled by packaging, this is an old-fashioned B&W. If romance with light comedy is your thing, this movie is for you...also a tear-jerker, so if you’re sensitive or a sympathetic crier, bring the tissues

A vulgar captain and a struggling single mother find a common bond to help each other in this ghost/life tale of love and hope. I have seen this movie so many times I lost count starting 40 years ago.

I've watched this movie many times and love it every time I watch it. Watching the growth of the main character is great. It's a wonderful story and should be in everyone's collection.

This is one of the great Studio Era films;!a great cast, superb writing and lush cinematography all make for an epic little movie that has held up well over the years.

This movie came out the year I was born. My mom and I watched it every time it came on t.v. Besides being a wonderful movie it brings back the memory with my mom.

I have always loved watching this movie on TV so happy now I can play it over and over if I want, Good clean story line, acting and script. What a pleasure for the heart.

This movie was made 1947 black and white it is a wonderful story holds your interest from the start to end. Saw this movie when I young and it is still a great movie

I,'ve seen this on tv twice before buying it. Loved it. Great acting by all. Very engrossing . A feel good movie. A friendly ghost story with upbeat ending.

This old movie was a take off to a TV show from when I was young. I always loved the series The Ghost and Mrs Muir. Loved the simpler times and the ocean scenes.

Glad to see Best Buy’s has some classic options. Great story between a ghost Captain Greg and Mrs. Muir. Takes you back in time to enjoy a classic movie.

I was amazed- and surprised, to see this movie in DVD. It is an incredible story from a bygone era. If you like older movies, this is a good one to get
