About the Event:
Starring Gene Tierny, Rex Harrison, George Sanders, Edna Best, Natalie Wood.
“Is Lucy Muir’s love really a ghost, or is it a man of flesh she yearns for?,” reads the teasing advertising copy for this beguiling tale of a young widow who inhabits a seaside cottage only to find it haunted by a crusty but engagingly salty sea captain with a romantic streak, played by a then largely unknown Rex Harrison (Cleopatra, My Fair Lady). Natalie Wood appears as  Mrs. Muir’s young daughter. Bernard Herrmann’s moody score adds substantially to the wistful eeriness of this carefully crafted fantasy.
