Darn darn darn - can't remember the name of the movie but the first wife in the oldie ---was it Mayerling?
Then there is Laura in movie of same name. Starred Gene Tierney and Dana Andrews. Andrews plays a detective investigating Laura's murder and falling in love with her from what he learns and from a portrait. Then she show up! Good movie, stands up well - consider it if you need to rent something at the video store.
