A Canterbury Tale

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22 11:30AM

Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger contributed to the war
effort with this heartfelt and charming tribute to England, old and new. Three travelers (Dennis Price, Sheila Sim, and John Sweet) follow in the footsteps of Chaucer’s pilgrims en route to Canterbury during World War II only to end up waylaid by various light mysteries, romances, and shenanigans. The stirring patriotic ending is still, well, pretty stirring. -Lee Gardner
