Well, I'm writing this comment in defense of the movie. One critic said the movie was too long, and the other comment was a spoiler. I agree that the movie was no "10" (very few are), but I thought it was a well-done movie for its genre, which I agree was NOT a horror.

How would the dead contact the living? They would not be able to just sit down and talk to us. Many psychics say that their visions are confusing and could be misinterpreted. The movie makes good use of this. Joe (Costner) says that his wife is trying to contact him -- nobody believes him. His friends and co-workers think that he is so grief-stricken that he's not thinking straight -- that maybe it's wishful thinking.

As for the end . . . a lot of movies have unbelievable endings so don't criticize this one for that alone. There had to be a very good reason for his wife to try contacting Joe from beyond the grave. I think this ending was unexpected and satisfying.

Tyrone Power in a comedy is a rare treat! Mr. Power was truly one of the most handsome actors ever. This movie may be light in the plot, but it is a delight to watch. A wonderful fantasy!

Fitz (Tyrone Power), a jaded city man, goes to Ireland where he is enchanted by a young woman (Anne Baxter). He meets a mysterious little man by a waterfall, but no one knows of the waterfall or the little man. He returns to his job and his fiancée in New York. He hires a servant for his apartment who seems vaguely familiar. And he meets the young woman again on the subway. All these circumstances combined wreak a change in Fitz. He finds what is truly valuable and important in his life.

I wish this movie were out in DVD. I copied this movie the last time it was on TV, but I would love to have a DVD instead of the VHS tape. It is a shame that more of these classics are not on DVD.
