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
"Though infuriatingly difficult to categorise, the film is bold, inventive, stimulating and extremely entertaining." (TimeOut)
"'A Canterbury Tale' may be the most loving and tender film about England ever made." (Xan Brooks, The Guardian)
"Strange and wonderful." (Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader)
1944 Dirs. Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger 1.37:1 B&W DCP 124 min.
