While ghosts often inhabit films and literature devoted to the
horror genre, a group of literature-based films from the 1930s and
1940s present more human and romantic apparitions. These films
provide the underpinnings for many of the gentle supernatural films
of the 1990s. Tracing the links between spectres as diverse as Rex
Harrison's ""Captain Gregg"" and Patrick Swazye's ""Sam Wheat"",
the text presents the evolution of the cinematic-literary ghost
from classic Gothic to the psychological, sociological, and
political ideologies of today. Included are analyses of the
literary and film versions of classic ghost stories - ""Wuthering
Heights"", ""The Ghost and Mrs. Muir"", ""Portrait of Jennie"",
""Letter from an Unknown Woman"", ""The Uninvited"", ""Liliom, and
Our Town"" - as well as interpretations of modern films not based
on literary works that show the influence of these predecessors -
""Ghost"" and ""Truly, Madly, Deeply"". The text includes stills, a
bibliography, and an index.
