But while the advantages of the camera are fully exploited, at ino time is tha story sacrificed to cinematic sleight-of-hand. Re- corded in Technicolor, the tilm has a Eeautiful range of color mood Elvira,~the wraith, is presented in |a cool gray-green tone that con- trasts very effectively with the warm hues around her. Rex Harrison and Constance {Cummings are the devoted but ivelatile couple. Harrison plays |Charles Condomine, a mystery- thriller writer. Successful,, humor- |ous, easy-going, he and his wife, |Ruth, lead a quiet but comfortable ilife . until Elvira, the ghost of :‘hls first wife, erupts into their |tranquil little world with revastat- |ing effects. .- Bon Voyage Gi:/en To Mrs_A.
