79 years ago:
The Halfway House (UK)
A group of travellers, each with a personal problem that they want to hide, arrive at a mysterious Welsh country inn. There is a certain strangeness in the air as they are greeted by the innkeeper and his daughter. Why are all the newspapers a year old? And why doesn't Gwyneth seem to cast a shadow?

My daughter has won the role of the Childcatcher in her school's production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. We rewatched the film over the last couple of nights. I absolutely adore it. Every single performance is brilliant; the songs infections; the gags hilarious. I adore it more every time I watch it (except that awful song Truly sings when she realises she loves Dick Van Dyke - that always gets fast forwarded).
