This made-for-TV episode on the "Fox Hour of Stars" (re-telecast August 2005) is a shot-for-shot, word-for-word retelling of the fox film classic, "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir."
In Gene Tierney's place as Mrs. Muir is Joan Fontaine, giving a heartfelt performance. As the ghost sea captain is Michael Wilding, "replacing" Rex Harrison. As Mrs. Muir's bogus suitor, Tom Conway is cast--in the same role previously played by his brother, George Sanders. (And I must say the resemblance between the two brothers is at times uncanny). Elsa Lancaster is the trusting maid.
This is an excellent hour-long adaptation, with strong production values and fine acting. In fact, it is remarkably successful, rivaling the high standards set by the film.
Interestingly, no mention is made in the credits of the source material, as though the intent is to evade acknowledging the original. Whatever the case, this episode is an outstanding adaptation of "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir."

Young Director Richard Fleisher, working closely with ace cinematographer George E. Diskant and fine film editor Robert Swinck, creates a nifty train thriller in 1952.
"The Narrow Margin" gets in there, does what it has to do, and gets out in just a little over an hour. A taut script, stark lighting, sharp photography, and no-nonsense editing elevate this to a high plane.
The cast consists of otherwise support players taking on leading roles, and doing a great job. One of Fleisher's best works. Only slight drawback: its generic title, while seemingly "coinable" and appropriate, is also surprisingly forgettable; accordingly, one might be hard-pressed to recall its title later on.
Chalk "THe Narrow Margin" up as a first-rate "sleeper" of a thriller.
