Produced by Charles Brackett and written by his friends Frank Partos and Dodie Smith (based on Dorothy Macardle novel), with strong echoes of Rebecca. Brother and sister Ray Milland and Ruth Hussey buy a haunted house in Cornwall-on-Hollywood from Donald Crisp. His grand-daughter Gail Russell has unresolved issues with what happened there. A scary doctor, scarily played by Cornelia Otis Skinner, is involved, and also a nice doctor, Batman's Alan Napier. Dorothy Stickney is the housekeeper.
Good moments, interesting film. Photographed by Charles Lang, music by Victor Young, edited by Doane Harrison, for Paramount.
