Product Information
A group of travellers, all of whom have reason to regret the actions of the past, take shelter from a storm in an old inn. There's something eerie about the place and its owner (Mervyn Johns)...something that indicates the guests aren't quite operating in their own time anymore. It develops that the inn really doesn't exist anymore; it had been destroyed by a bomb a year earlier. By staying in this half-way house, the guests all have a chance to rectify the errors that they've made in their own lives during the past year.Product Identifiers

Little lost gem
I bought this DVD as I enjoy the genre (old black and white movies with a supernatural theme) and was pleasantly surprised. A good story bringing together diverse characters who all had tragedy in their lives. Without giving away the plot, there were little teasers that threw me a little, and sometimes I thought the film was heading one way, then it veered off another way. Excellent performances all round, with special mention for Mervyn Johns - I am not sure if this actor was a Welsh national but his accent was brilliant; I've only ever heard him speak with an English accent previously. Almost inevitably, since the film was made in the years spanning WW2, there was some jingoistic stuff going on near the end, but for all that it is a charming film and I will definitely watch it again.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
