The Ghost and Mrs Muir**
(US 1947)         

Twentieth Century Fox. 104m. bw

A widowed young mother retreats with her daughter to a south coast cottage haunted by a sea captain who wants it put into the right hands.
Superficially plotted but glossily well made supernatural romance, with actors not ideal for their roles but investing all their best attributes into it, and they spark off each other very well.
