The Uninvited (USA) (Paramount ) (1944) ****1/2Decade: '40siMDB
Director: Lewis Allen Cast: Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey
This is a beautifully done ghost story, with plenty of atmosphere, a touch of madness, a romance, a pretty, haunted girl - what more can you ask for? It is an obvious attempt to cash in on the popularity of Rebecca, but it's quite different in many ways - particularly in that there is an actual ghost in this one while in Rebecca, the "ghost" was more the presence in peoples' memories of a character. Ray Milland is at his elegant best in this.
