I just discovered that a film I've been wanting to see is on Turner Classics tomorrow (Monday, July 30) at NOON. The main reason I'm anxious to see it is because ERNEST THESIGER has an important (tho probably small) supporting role in it, but it's also (allegedly) a supernatural thriller, and it stars another of my favorite actors, JAMES MASON, along with
some other Brit stalwarts like Margaret Lockwood and Dennis Price.

I've never seen it, but here's some info from IMDb and Wikipedia (there seems to be some confusion about the release date -- 1943 or 1945; perhaps the first is UK and the second US?):

IMDb profile
A Place of One's Own (1943) is a British film directed by Bernard Knowles. An atmospheric ghost story based on the novel by Osbert Sitwel, it stars James Mason, Barbara Mullen, Margaret Lockwood, Dennis Price and Dulcie Gray. Mason and Mullen are artificially aged to play the old couple ....

Plot
Mr and Mrs Smedhurst (Mason and Mullen) are a middle-aged business couple wanting to retire. They find an old but cheap mansion in the country that has been vacant for 40 years, Bellingham House, and proceed to buy it. They move in along with their servants and soon learn the house is supposedly haunted – but Mr Smedhurst in particular is sceptical of the paranormal myth. They invite a young companion, Annette (Margaret Lockwood), to join them but within days of arriving she steadily begins hearing strange voices. The new owners learn that a young invalid girl was believed to have been
murdered 40 years previously in the house – and their preconceptions of the supernatural are challenged.

When the spirit of the murdered girl possesses Annette, her health declines drastically and soon she's at deaths door. A young doctor, Dr Selbie (Dennis Price), has fallen deeply in love with Annette and attempts to cure her but to no avail. In a state of delirium, Annette calls for old Dr Marsham (Ernest Thesiger), the GP who had attended to the dead girl 40 years earlier.
