A rare, if mild, excursion into the supernatural for Ealing Studios makes this 1944 morale-booster an intriguing and enjoyable prospect, especially if you’re not expecting another Dead of Night. Like that film, it gathers together a disparate group of characters, each with ‘issues’ dramatising some aspect of British life during wartime, from marital breakdowns and black market­eering to Ireland’s relat­ions with Nazi Germany. Thrown together in an idyllic Welsh inn where time seems to have stood still for a whole year, the guests soon realise that all is not what it seems: especially when the publican has a habit of fading in and out of the room and his barmaid daughter casts no shadow.
