The Halfway House
1944, English. Directed by Basil Dearden.
A group of travellers, each with a hidden personal issue, arrive at a mysterious Welsh country inn. There's a certain strangeness in the air as they're greeted by the innkeeper and his daughter. Why are all the newspapers a year old? And why doesn't Gwyneth seem to cast a shadow?
