    Obscure, third class light comedy

    HALF A HOUSE is an obscure, third class light comedy with only a few fairly funny situations. This absolutely inconspicuous movie is interesting neither for trash fans nor the average moviegoer. Anthony Eisley proves in this tired sitcom again, showing talent for comedy, that he is a much better actor than his filmography might suggest.

    For Oscar Completists

    This obscure and not-very-good film can be viewed on the website Rarefilms for anyone who would like to check it off their list of films nominated for Academy Awards that they need to see. The screenplay is below mediocre and the acting, barely acceptable. The nominated song is forgettable by Sammy Fain and Paul Francis Webster]. An Oscar curio for sure and fits into that category of films most are surprised garnered any kind of nomination (i.e., The Stepmother (with another forgettable song by Fain and Webster), Ben, Thank God It's Friday (which won), The Little Ark, and Birds Do It, Bees Do It, among others.)

    • Trivia
      The audience for this movie was so small that when the song "A World That Never Was" was nominated for an Academy Award, song writers Paul Francis Webster and Sammy Fain hired publicist Michael B. Druxman to set up an 800-number so that Academy voters could call in and hear Fain's demo recording of the song.
