Le Voyage de Beatrice

I love it when synchronicities like this happen. So here it is:

Just yesterday I was talking to my husband about old movies that I love, and one that I remembered quite clearly as being one of my all time favorites, was a classic film called "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir" starring Gene Tierney and Rex Harrison. I haven't seen it in some 18 years or so, but I remember watching it all the time in my teens. Well tonight I logged into DeviantArt and saw the picture below. It's a sign. I'm so buying this movie! 

If you are not familiar with the synopsis of this film I posted some from imdb.com below.  I am just floored really.  Some of you may know why I find it rather amusing that this movie was one of my favorites in my teens.

Below are the plot summaries from imdb.com:

In 1900, strong-willed widow Lucy Muir goes to live in Gull Cottage by the British seaside, even though it appears to be haunted. Sure enough, that very night she meets the ghost of crusty former owner Captain Gregg...and refuses to be scared off. Indeed, they become friends and allies, after Lucy gets used to the idea of a man's ghost haunting her bedroom. But when a charming live man comes courting, Lucy and the captain must deal with their feelings for each other. Written by Rod Crawford {puffinus@u.washington.edu}

At first Captain Gregg plays the same tricks on Lucy he has used to get rid of previous tenants. This ghost who loves solitude soon comes to admire her spunk and to make it possible for her to afford to stay in the house he decides she will write a best-seller, his memoirs. When Lucy visits a London publisher, she also impresses a famous author of children's books, Miles Fairley. Can a ghost be jealous? Written by Dale O'Connor {daleoc@interaccess.com}
