THE UNINVITED (1944) https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51shejuAIIL._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_.jpg One of the great ghost stories of all time, with a beautiful score by Victor Young. The first time I saw the film, I could feel the hair standing up on my head when Mary Meredith put in her appearance.

Re: NOW PLAYING (100 YEARS AGO)

I am guessing that Trilby is the Svengali story. Okay, I could have looked it up but I thought I would bust chops. Maybe it's the story from her point of view. entirely.
