  Rex Harrison said it was his most challenging roll. His being a ghost, Harrison was directed to have no physical touching and be convincing as passionately in love with Mrs. Muir (Gene Tierney).

Meanwhile, love enters the picture in the person of an intellectual, Adolphus Cusins (Rex Harrison), who Barbara ignores because she is too busy with her cause–until Adolphus takes her on a tour of her father's company and shows her that capitalism is good.

  Rex Harrison is brilliant as symphony conductor Sir Alfred De Carter whose brother-in-law August (Rudy Vallee) tells him that Alfred's wife, Daphne (Linda Darnell), is having an affair. Alfred obsesses with the thought that Daphne would have another lover and even plots her demise while conducting the orchestra. As he comes up with ways to solve the problem, Alfred sets each solution to a different classical number, and options change with the mood of the music. But, later, his efforts to physically carry out those plans result in slapstick gags, which end in a fiasco. This film was remade in 1984 starring Dudley Moore as the conductor and Nastassja Kinski as the "unfaithful" wife.

  This is a clever film made up of a trio of stories linking together subsequent owners of a particular yellow Rolls-Royce Phantom II. Lord Frenton (Rex Harrison) buys the Rolls as an anniversary gift for his wife (Jeanne Moreau) who is later caught in the back seat with John Fane (Edmund Purdom). Later, in the 1930s, gangster Paolo Maltese (George C. Scott) buys the Rolls and tours Italy with hat-check girl Mae Jenkins (Shirley MacLaine). Like her predecessor, Mae also tries out the back seat–she finds "love" with a photographer (Alain Delon) while Paolo is in the U.S. on business. By World War II, socialite Gerda Millett (Ingrid Bergman) owns the car and fights the Nazis by smuggling Davich (Omar Sharif) across the border. In the process, this couple also finds pleasures in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce Phantom II.
