A delightful film, highly watchable
By roncoach (365 reviews) from suffolk , 08 Sep 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
The enchanting Gene Tierney plays the sort of role reserved for few actresses such as herself and Greer Garson. The film also happens to be as enchanting as it's star and the witty and sophisticated screen presence of Rex Harrison (as the grumpy ghost) adds so much to the movie. Another big factor is the wonderful set and design. The director is among the top rank and all the technical departments from screen play to editing are top notch.
I suppose cynics who watch only action blood and gore (and I have nothing against those genres - they all have their place) might say that this is a slow film, a 'woman's film, an out of date genre.........but, loving (as I do) the better films of any genre ever made, I have no hesitation in placing this film as quite memorable in the comedy/romance category of any era. It beats me why today's romance/comedy/weepy/light entertainment does not draw more from what could be gained from this film........there is only so many times you can watch Hugh Grant playing the same roles or even the wonderful Julia Roberts tugging the same old heart strings.
This film, 1947 only just creeps into the final stages if the Hollywood Golden Age, though it seems as though it was made perhaps 5 or 10 years earlier, but it is certainly of an era when Hollywood still had the magic that was gradually eroded throught the 1950s and thereafter.
If you like 'Mrs Miniver', 'Random Harvest', 'The Ghost Goes West', et al, you won't want to miss this film. If you just like watching other genres I can't quite grasp that thought (I love thrillers, dramas, westerns, horror, musicals etc) but surely if you have never seen 'It Happened One Night' or for example, the 3 examples I gave earlier, then you have missed a lot of cinematic joy.
And.if you are of a younger generation and really enjoy light romance/ romantic comedy but avoid any film that has been made before the year, say, 2000.........may I recommend that you try a few of the 'greats' of this genre which were made in much quantity in the 1930s and 40s ----- a whole new world of entertainment will open up for you from those listed above and, as you work your way down to this particular movie as well. Enough opinions ------ this is simply an enchanting and highly watchable film of its type from any decade that you care to mention. Highly recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?
