How could anyone not like this movie? Gene Tierney, never a great actress but a great beauty for sure, is sound. Rex Harrison plays essentially the same role he plays in "Anna and the King of Siam>" (In my view, that is a considerably better movie.) He also is much as he is in the brilliant "Unfaithfully Yours." That said, he is very good as the salty but slightly sentimental sea captain -- or ghost of a sea captain.

Gene Tierney plays a very independent woman. Such characters dominate the director's movies.

The waves separating periods of times strike me as a little corny. They are like blackouts in a stage play. But it's well cast and directed. And as I say, how could anyone not be touched by it?
