PUNQ

Rated 05 Nov 2019

The Halfway House (1944) reminded me of another movie which came out in 1944, Between Two Worlds (1944), which again was a remake of Outward Bound (1930). Things with the story was a little blurry, but the stop at The Halfway House becomes sort of a philosophical pathway to death, where the people we meet redeem themselves or come to a conclusion of what's important in life, here mostly relating to the on-going war. It's a well-acted piece. It's a respectable piece. One that'll make you think.
