Shortly after David Abbott moves into his new San Francisco digs, he has an unwelcome visitor on his hands: winsome Elizabeth Martinson, who asserts that the apartment is hers -- and promptly vanishes. When she starts appearing and disappearing at will, David thinks she's a ghost, while Elizabeth is convinced she's alive.

My review · Reviewed 12/09/2022

The good news - you get to see two fantastic actors in a movie where the script probably isn't up to part with their talents. They are sweet and funny and have great chemistry. The middle third of the movie is actually very good, although based on the nature of the storyline you kind of know that the resolution is going to have to be at least a little bit hokey. That said, I didn't expect the last 5 minutes - I thought that was an excellent addendum to the movie.
