    A local television station in the mid fifties ran “The Unseen” the week after my parents and I watched “The Uninvited.” They thought I’d be disappointed because “The Unseen” didn’t have a supernatural element in its plot, but I remember liking it even though a lot of it went over my little head. I’m glad to see it included here, although it’s a much better movie than most of the entries in “Rare Film.” Seeing it again after all the years I still think Gail Russell has the loveliest, sad eyes, and that Herbert Marshall will never be one of my favorite actors.

    I completely agree about Gail Russell’s eyes.
