The Ghost and Mrs. Muir premiered

June 18, 1947
The romantic supernatural story, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, and starring, Gene Tierney, Rex Harrison, and George Saunders, was released on this date.

Gene Tierney’s first approach to the character of Lucy Muir was playful, almost screwball. After a conference between Twentieth Century Fox studio head Darryl F. Zanuck and director Joseph L. Mankiewicz, the first two days of shooting were re-done so that Tierney could give the character more depth. The change resulted in huge critical acclaim for the actress.
