House of Darkness (1948 film)
House of Darkness is a 1948 British film directed by Oswald Mitchell and starring Henry Oscar and Laurence Harvey.Lawrence Harvey, as the embittered Francis, is outstanding, as also are Lesley Osmond, his forbearing wife in a difficult household, and Grace Arnold as Tessa, the devoted housekeeper."[7] Kine Weekly wrote: "Unpretentious, yet holding, psychological melodrama, embellished with George Melachrino's melodies. ......The film, unfolded in one uninterrupted flashback, is quite a good romantic thriller, even though its abracadabra takes a bit of swallowing.Lawrence Harvey has a lot to learn, but in spite of his lack of experience his sense of the dramatic and his power to convey hysteria are more than capable of meeting the comparatively modest demands of its plush upholstered macabre.
