If you like Laura and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, can I recommend another Gene Tierney film, Dragonwyck? An historical Jane Eyre/Rebecca wannabe, with whip-thin Vincent Price in one of his earliest villain roles.
I do hope that Ida got away with it.
lol I’m not going to give that away. ![]()
Oh yes I saw Dragonwyck too! It was pretty good! I saw a few different versions of Jane Eyre too and liked them all. ![]()
How about Odd Man Out (1947) starring James Mason (and a cameo appearance by William Hartnell). It’s a moody, noir-ish film about the “Irish troubles”. I love the film, but a lot of folks I have talked to don’t know it.
My favorite English film from the 40’s, though it may not be “atmospheric,” is the 1957 American film, Witness for the Prosecution, which combines courtroom drama, noir and humor. I like the last line (spoiler alert) “Sir Wilfrid, you’ve forgotten your brandy!”
I miss Eve. That is all.

Pretty much any Powell/Pressburger film will snap your stix. 49TH PARALLEL; LIFE AND TIME OF COLONEL BLIMP; SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WANTED; that David Niven/Kim Hunter movie about the afterlife; THE RED SHOES; BLACK NARCISSUS.
A genuine UK film from 1951, which is a little unusual, and unfairly obscure, is The Franchise Affair, based on a novel by Josephine Tey. Tey also wrote The Daughter of Time.
