Summary: This movie is terrific!
Comment: This is one movie that is just as great to watch as it is to read! Ray Milland is just wonderful, in fact the entire cast is well chosen. Being in Black and White just makes it that much better. NO CGI, but interestingly good special effects. I have it on VHS, but want it on DVD.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Too Scared
Comment: I saw this movie when it came out and was so scared by it that I refused to see it until a few years ago on VHS. What a great movie!! I certainly wish it would come out on DVD. It is still one of the best.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A great movie
Comment: One of the things which makes this film so remarkable is the script, as other reviewers have noted. Perhaps the humour and pacing might be better understood if it were realised that Dodie Smith scripted the movie -- the writer to I Capture the Castle and The 101 Dalmatians. She was living in the States at the time to escape the bombing of England during WW2, and this was one of her projects. An amazing script, performed brilliantly by the likes of Ray Milland, Ruth Hussey and the radiant (and ultimately fatally flawed) Gail Russell. And the music by Victor Young, Stella By Starlight, is incredibly evocative. A truly "must-see" film.

Summary: Please!!!!! Put this GREAT movie on DVD
Comment: PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! One of the best ghost stories ever filmed. Why oh why is it not on DVD? Who needs special effects, loud noisy sound effects, etc. when you have great acting and a ghostly figure that sends chills up and down your spine and most of it comes from using your imagination. With all the crap that is put on DVD's, what is wrong with a studio that would make big bucks if they gave people what they want, good entertainment, good writing and great acting. I too read the book and even though it does not follow the story to a tee, it still enchances.

Summary: Agreed -- best scary movie
Comment: I first saw this movie when I was little and probably too young to understand some if it. It has been a favorite of mine for years and years. I agree with all - this is the gold standard on a scary movie. And while we all agree it sends shivers down your spine, there is such fantastic dialogue and some really, really funny comments from the cast. Ray Milland was superb, as was all the cast. And of course, "Stella by Starlight" -- the music is just the cherry on top. I have the VHS tape, but would love a DVD as well.
