Here's why:
* Man buys a house: The protagonist, Arthur Kipps, is a lawyer who buys a remote and dilapidated house on the coast of England.
* Ghost of a woman: The house is haunted by the ghost of a woman in black, who is seeking revenge for the death of her child.
* From the 1960s: While the movie isn't specifically set in the 1960s, the time period is implied to be sometime in the early 20th century.
* Saves her life: Arthur uncovers the tragic history of the woman in black and the events leading up to her death. He doesn't directly save her life, but his actions indirectly impact the situation.
While "The Woman in Black" is a classic ghost story, it's also a bit of a tricky one to describe, as the focus isn't on a romantic relationship between the man and the ghost. The focus is on Arthur's investigation into the mysteries of the house and his own personal struggles with the supernatural.
