Wissenswertes
When Stella enters a trance and speaks in Spanish during the seance, she says, "Listen, listen! It's not her! It's not her! Do not believe anything! Do not listen to her, because she's lying! You thief! Thief of my love!"

Patzer
The film is set in 1937, but the "going-to-church" sequence features a car with headlights blacked out in the style required due to WWII in the early 1940s.

Zitate
Pamela Fitzgerald: Well, I must dash back to Lizzie. We're fighting over how much Sherry to put in a tipsy pudding. She wants to make it dead drunk.

Mimosa calling

Musician Ray Milland (Rod) and his sister Ruth Hussey (Pam) buy a house on a whim whilst holidaying in Devon. It seems quite a cheap price and the purchase is conducted over a few sentences. The owner Donald Crisp (Commander Beech) seems very keen for the sale. He also stipulates to his grand-daughter Gail Russell (Stella) that she is never to visit the house. It is where she spent the first 3 years of her life. She disobeys as she develops a relationship with Milland. And the house has some other occupants .. unworldly ones.

It's an enjoyable film with a strong cast although Russell plays things rather too vulnerably for a 20 year-old. Milland throws in some humorous touches but he succeeds in keeping things in the scary, spooky film genre as opposed to the comedy ghost story genre, which is always a let-down. So, he should be congratulated for making the crossover. This is a good ghost story with genuine chills, scary scenes, a story with a twist and a great ghost effect. Lots of atmosphere in this one.
