I found the Ghost and Mrs. Muir to be so charming. I'd seen it once or twice before years ago, and I wondered if I really wanted to see it again. I'm so glad I did. I'd forgotten how, for all its fantasy (it is, after all, the story of a widow who falls in love with a ghost), it seems to hold a kernel of psychological reality.
Two things I found very interesting in the Wikipedia entry. The score, which I love, was considered by its composer, Bernard Herrmann, to be his best. And Whitford Kane, who played the publisher who agrees to publish Mrs. Muir's book, was not only Irish (from Lane in Antrim) but was director of the Goodman for several years. He became one of Orson Welles' Mercury Players.
