The Uninvited (1944)
An American supernatural horror directed by Lewis Allen.
Starring Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey, and Donald Crisp.
The film is based on Dorothy Macardle's novel 'Uneasy Freehold' (1941)
A fairly languid production despite it's 'horror' tag
which has some humour and is surprisingly enjoyable to watch.
Solid performance from, American staple, Ray Milland
who was actually Welsh and only went to the US in 1930
He was born Alfred Reginald Jones on January 3rd 1907 in Neath, Glamorgan.
trivia corner:
The musical piece 'Stella by Starlight' was later adapted into a popular song
with music by Victor Young and lyrics by Ned Washington.
It was recorded by many artists including Harry James and Frank Sinatra.
Charlie Parker covered it in 1952 as did Stan Getz.
More than a dozen other artists, recorded it over the following two years.
The song was performed by several jazz musicians
including Chet Baker, Bill Evans, and Miles Davis.
Optional subtitles in several languages are included.
Other languages are available on request.
