Film Description
A 1944 fantasy drama from Ealing Studios, The Halfway House mixes ghostliness with wartime propaganda. It was adapted from the play by Dennis Ogden.
After sheltering from a storm in a rural Welsh inn, a group of strangers, each with something to hide, begin to notice that all is not as it seems with their new surroundings. Welcomed by the innkeeper Rhys (Mervyn Johns) and his ethereal daughter Gwyneth (Glynis Johns), the guests soon come to realise that they are in a different dimension, one where time is literally standing still, and that they've been given the chance to put right the wrongs that they've committed in the past.
