The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir
Marking one of cinematographer Charles Lang’s 18 Academy Award nominations for Cinematography, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir employs stunning, moody black-and-white photography to realistically express the budding connection between the titular "ghost," played with an excess of snark and vulgarity by Rex Harrison, and Gene Tierney's headstrong Mrs. Muir. Regarded by composer Bernard Herrmann himself as one of his finest, the film's haunting, sweeping score carries throughout this heart-rending period romance, crafted lovingly by Joseph L. Mankiewicz in his second year as a director.
