To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday (1996)

Two years after the death of his wife Gillian (Michelle Pfeiffer) in a boating accident, grieving widower David (Peter Gallagher) discovers that his obsession with her has alienated his sensitive teenage daughter Rachel (Claire Danes) and caused him to lose touch with reality. He learns, with the help of Gillian's ghost, to relinquish the past and mend his relationships with her other survivors. This sensitive examination of grieving and loss, filmed on Nantucket, was co-written by David E. Kelley, creator of ALLY MCBEAL.
