Apr 26th  
The Uninvited**      
(US 1943)                      
Paramount. 98m. bw

In 1937 a brother and sister visiting Cornwall buy a house with a tormented local family secret.
Spooky and commendably uninhibited ghost story, less effective when attempting to add romantic comedy (although its incidental love theme Stella by Starlight became a hit in its own right), with a reasonable Hollywood reconstruction of Cornwall.

Written by: Dodie Smith, Frank Porthos, based on the story"Uneasy Freehold" by Dorothy Macardle.
Producer: Charles Brackett.
Director: Lewis Allen.
Starring: Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, Gail Russell, Donald Crisp, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Alan Napier, Barbara Everest, Dorothy Stickney.
Photography: Charles Lang Jnr.
Music: Victor Young.
