What do you Think of the New Photo on Top of the Board?


I think it's lovely! The grey shades of coloring seem to give a nod to the beautiful black and white filming.

I think it makes it look like a recent film, set in the past. I wish it featured the front of Gene Tierney's face instead of a profile. And I like how the older version has the Captain in the background and Mrs. Muir looking into the distance, which is far more suggestive of the ghost/haunting element that is so central to this film. The new poster makes it seem like a straightforward romantic drama, with both of them gazing lovingly into each other's eyes. The allure of their unique love story is that they were never in direct contact with one another, they were never on the same physical plane (until after her death). So while I like the new colours, I'm not entirely keen on the depiction. And the inclusion of the ship was a bit eh, considering that the house had a far more prominent role.
