Mary Rose

Two glimpses of the titular heroine of J.M. Barrie's great play.

Mary Rose isn't a ghost exactly, more like a spirit trapped between worlds....




Fun fact: Alfred Hitchcock wanted to film Mary Rose. Had he managed to get the backing it would have been a considerable departure from his usual kind of thing. No murders, no pursuits, no Catholic guilt. There's suspense I suppose, but mostly there's melancholy and magic....
