    Hi all



    I remember sitting down and watching an old black and white film on BBC2, back when I was but a young lad, when they used to show films of a Saturday afternoon.



    All I can remember is the ending, in that a woman is sat under a blossom tree and a ghost appears and they go away together.



    Now thats vague... and I doubt if anyone will recall it.



    Regards, Ray

    Could it be The Ghost And Mrs Muir? I know he comes to get her at the end but im not too sure about the blossom tree.

    Sounds like the end of Maytime (1937), starring Jeanette MacDonald and Neldon Eddy.

    The whole film has been put up on Youtube, so you can see the final segment there.

    Love Is a Many-Splendored Thing (1955)? At the end of the film William Holden dies and Jennifer Jones visits the top of a hill, which was 'their place'. She breaks down and the ghost of her lost love appears by the tree there. He waves. She waves back. But it's only a brief moment of happiness as he disappears. At the end she sobs by the (blossom?) tree. A sad, sad ending.

    They didn't go away together though! That DID happen in 'The Ghost And Mrs Muir' but the ghost by the tree only rekindles memories of 'Splendored Thing' for me. I hope I've helped.

    Many thanks for that Euryale. It was indeed Maytime. The words Mayfair and Springtime kept on coming to mind. Just never thought of putting the two together.



    Just had a quick nostalgic moment. Watching it again took me back to the coal fire and the black and white tele of a cold Saturday afternoon.



    Even in these cynical times it brings a warm glow to the heart.



    Thanks. Problem solved.



    PS How do you make this question Answered?
