An imaginary friend is just charming
Nothing tragic portends, it's disarming
But on Lewton's dark screen
It's less cute: the unseen
Makes the fragilest blend: sweet/alarming.

Simone Simon and Ann Carter in The Curse of the Cat People (Gunther von Fritsch and Robert Wise; 1944), the most magical of the films produced by Val Lewton.
