This review was written by my Grandad in 1944 in a letter sent to my Grandmother whilst he was serving at the RAF camp at Woodbridge...
Tonight I've just seen another picture here in camp... It was "Half Way House" and was about a lonely Welsh inn to which a number of people are fated to find their way. The hosts a charming young Welsh couple are really ghosts and the inn too was ghostly for it had been bombed and burnt out a year before, though no signs are visible and the only strange thing is that the young couple have no shadows. These two help the other people to sort out their lives and the final scenes show the inn being bombed again just as it had been a year before.
The acting in this picture was atrocious, the worst I've seen for years, and it was in my opinion badly directed for it could have been an outstanding picture.
