A Canterbury Tale (1944) DVD

click to close

This compelling drama by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger (A Matter of Life and Death, The Red Shoes) is now acknowledged as one of their finest films. Their re-working of Chaucer's epic fourteenth century tale, largely set in wartime Kent, centres on American army Sergeant John Smith, British Soldier Dennis Price and Landgirl Shiela Sim who, before making a modern-day pilgrimage to Canterbury, solve the bizarre mystery of a man who pours glue over the hair of village girls at night.
