A Canterbury Tale

This is an obscure Powell and Pressburger film from the 1940's, via my LoveFilm subscription. A G.I. Sergent, his British counterpart and a Land Army girl try to solve the mysterious attacks of the "Glueman" in a Kent village.

The film is less about the mystery of who is attacking young women by pouring glue on their hair and more about the effect the war is having on the individuals and the country at the time (Canterbury was bombed in 1943 as part of the so-called Baedeker raids). It's also a big slice of nostalgia, showing a world that was fast disappearing even before the war.
