What is Gale Sondergaard saying at seance?
This is one of my childhood favorite films, and it still holds up and I still love it. However, I can never remember what the housekeeper intones during the seance. It's a jumble of pseudo-esoteric supernatural phrases, something like, "agnostico lazum badar...! This seance scene is actually very eerie, especially when "Emily" is channeling Melody's lover Tom. And I must put in a good word about Ann Gillis in the small but charming role of Nora, Costello's feisty Irish girlfriend. She's very good. And Majorie Reynolds is always appealing and likeable! Now, back to that seance!!
