Talk:The Uninvited (1944 film)

Plot

As someone recently added that they don't get the plot to the plot section, that really needs a tidying up. I have yet to see this film, can anyone clear it up? Andrzejbanas 15:13, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

• Plot section was revised on 21 April 2007. The News Hound 18:25, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Category addition

"Spanish language films" has been added as a category to this entry-- a bizarre addition, since this is an English-language film in which Spanish (or, possibly, Portuguese, according to a recent edit) is spoken only for a few seconds. Please review the validity of this category addition. The News Hound 18:25, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
Barring further discussion or objection, I have removed "Spanish language films" as a category.--The News Hound 04:50, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

It's definitely Spanish, not Portuguese. Kostaki mou (talk) 01:12, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Did this for some here. There's a few that I don't feel should be combined as they combine information from separate sources. But I've believe I've done what you asked. Andrzejbanas (talk) 11:18, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

"Betty Farrington as Voice of Mary Meredith"

Surely she was the voice of Carmel, not Mary Meredith, though it is not till the end that we know this. She is so listed on IMDb. We never hear Mary Meredith's voice. Kostaki mou (talk) 00:41, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Well we dont use IMDb as a source per WP:RS/IMDb. I've double checked my source and did some other searching and several other sources state its Betty Farrington. Can you provide some other back-up? Andrzejbanas (talk) 04:13, 2 May 2021 (UTC)

The movie itself is a source. Watch it! (I myself did a couple of days ago.) We never hear Mary Meredith's voice. The voice we hear is Carmel's. It is not revealed until near the end that she, not Mary Meredith, is Stella's mother. When Stella says that she now knows this, we hear the voice laughing joyfully. She had been weeping until then. She then departs and the mimosa smell that accompanies her departs with her. (By the way, if you see the film, you will see that Stella is definitely one of the main characters. Then as now, actors and actresses who were not yet well known would frequently be credited at the end (often preceded by "and introducing" or the like) even if they played major roles. It seems to me that you are being needlessly rigid in insisting on following this order, but I'll leave things alone. Kostaki mou (talk) 01:52, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

I'll be happy to remove the credit on the name here based on your info, but I'd like to keep the credits listed. There's no here or there on what order we should be casting in outside the infobox where we go by the billing block. I'd feel like us re-arranging them to however we feel is proper is probably more inappropriate than following the credited cast as there are no standards in other sections on wikipedia that we choose more promintent cast members to be higher up in casting.
