Joseph L. Mankiewicz choreographed and directed a classic psychic literary film, which was nominated for Best Photography Oscar in 1948! Gene Tierney plays a stubborn widow who insists on living independently with her daughter after her husband's death and moves into a haunted house. It turned out that there was a ghost of the captain living in this house. the captain was reported to have committed suicide because of accidental suffocation. He was unwilling to continue to occupy the old house, hoping to "pretend to be a ghost" to scare people away. Unexpectedly, the widow was not bluffed, but became a best-selling novelist with the help of the ghost of the captain. Unfortunately, she fell into the trap of an unfaithful writer early and broke up with the captain until the moment of her old age and death. This story of love between people and ghosts is both funny and romantic, and the protagonists and heroines have distinct personalities, forming a quite attractive drama tension. The captain played by Rex Harrison and the daughter played by Nathalie Wood, who was a child star at the time, both performed brilliantly and had a high standard of photography and soundtrack.
