Believe in the reality

Widower Gene Tierney (Lucy) is looking for a house so she buys a haunted one! Of course. Well, you would, wouldn't you? The house is haunted by crusty sea dog Rex Harrison (Daniel) and he doesn't want anyone meddling on his property. However, he likes Gene so she can stay on and they form a friendship. He gives her an idea for an income before disappearing from her life as she finds a mortal love in George Sanders (Miles). Hold on, Sanders is always a cad, isn't he?

This is a romantic film that mixes real life with the next world and the ending ties up things nicely. And of course this is actually what happens – love goes on forever. If you are a romantic, you'll enjoy this film. There is comedy and also a young Natalie Wood who gets to deliver ominous dialogue about liking the sea…….

A lot of tragedies tied up with the cast of this film. Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison, George Sanders and Natalie Wood all have an unfortunate or scandalous story attached to them.

Back to the film, it's easy-going and stays with you after it has finished.
