The Uninvited (1944)

I honestly had no expectations about this movie, which turned out to be both charming and genuinely spooky.  It has elements of witty comedy, sweet romance, and soap opera, including illegitimacy and lesbianism!  Plus a cute dog, cat, and even squirrel.  Oh, and this may have the most stunning haunted house ever on film.

This is based on Dorothy Macardle's novel Uneasy Freehold, and was Lewis Allen's first feature-length film.  (I didn't care for Suddenly, from a decade later.)
