References

Blithe Spirit And in the gay Noel Coward play Blithe Spirit, at the Athenaeum, the departed first wife is brought back far too vividly to Rex Harrison by the old Berlin tune Always. Quite apart from individual theme tunes, completely scored background music for high-lighting the spoken word of the script is now an accepted, if not always appreciated, adjunct both to heavy drama and light romance on the screen.
Blithe Spirit (1945) Adapted from a play by Noel Coward, Charles and his second wife Ruth, are haunted by the ghost of his first wife, Elvira. Medium Madame Arcati tries to help things out by contacting the ghost. Director: David Lean Stars: Rex Harrison, Constance Cummings, Kay Hammond
