A plucky trio of young contributors to the Allied war effort find themselves caught up in a dastardly plot to poor glue in girls’ hair in a small English town. But mostly they all just come to learn about how the shared heritage of America and England is a noble culture worth celebrating. Basically, this is a government-sponsored bit of war-time propaganda, but it is directed by Powell and Pressburger, so that’s something. As the title suggests, it’s kind of related to Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, but just barely. In the end, this somehow becomes a delightfully charming film. 

If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be watching Joel and Ethan Cohen's Inside Llewyn Davis (2013).
