Weekend visitors to a country inn soon realise that things are not as they seem. For one thing, the newspapers are all a year old. (If you think that is bad, go to Saskatchewan. In the some of the motels I have had to stay in on the prairies, they were still playing the original Star Trek reruns in the 1990's).
But the proprietors at the Halfway House don't seem to cast a shadow, or a reflection in the mirror. This is where people go before they go, if you know what I mean.
The movie was set in wartime Britain. Every family was grieving from the loss of a loved one, and these sentimental movies were made to ease the pain. It was a peaceful little flick, with no pretensions, and a B cast to read the script. Good Luck finding it on VHS.
