(1948, Upgraded 10/1/21) Turhan Bey, Lynn Bari, Richard Carlson, Cathy O'Donnell. A very underrated film. Bari plays a woman is haunted by the spectre of her dead husband. She follows what she thinks is his spirit onto a lonely beach on a moonlit night and runs into a handsome spiritualist—Turhan Bey. It's a great scene. She soon becomes involved with his mystic practices, but is he legit? Is the ghost of her dead husband haunting her sea cliff mansion? This is a very atmospheric film and very much in the spirit of Val Lewton. It's a nice combination of horror and film noir. Watch for one especially effective "ghost" scene. From a beautiful 35mm print
