IWWAZ (1943 Jacques Tourneur)

Written by Curt Siodmak and Ardel Wray, from Inez Wallace story.

Frances Dee, Tom Conway, James Ellison, Edith Barrett, James Bell, Christine Gordon, Sir Lancelot and Darby Jones. Theresa Harris is the maid, as she was usually, though not in the big mama way of Hattie and Louise Beavers - in fact in the pre-code Baby Face, she shares equal screen time and status as Barbara Stanwyck.

Apart from that, not a lot to add to this classic of mood, all the more impressive for being created in the studio at RKO.
