A Canterbury Tale (1944) is a British film by the film-making team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. It stars
Eric Portman, Sheila Sim, Dennis Price and Sgt. John Sweet; Esmond Knight provided narration and played several small
roles. For the American release, Raymond Massey narrated and Kim Hunter was added to the film. The film was made in
black and white, and was the first of two collaborations between Powell and Pressburger and cinematographer Erwin
Hillier.



A Canterbury Tale takes its title from The Canterbury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer, and loosely uses Chaucer's theme of
'eccentric characters on a religious pilgrimage' to highlight the wartime experiences of the citizens of Kent, and
encourage wartime Anglo-American friendship and understanding.



The film was photographed in East Kent in the countryside within the triangle of Faversham, Ashford and Canterbury and
the River Stour can clearly be seen in some of the scenes. Canterbury is shown with the terrible scars it received
during the war and one can only wonder at the fact that the great cathedral remained unscathed. It is a wonderful sight
to see sheep being herded through the Westgate Towers. Oh how things have changed!







Plot:

 

The story concerns three young people: British Sergeant Peter Gibbs (Dennis Price), US Sergeant Bob Johnson (played by
real-life Sergeant John Sweet), and a 'Land Girl', Miss Alison Smith (Sheila Sim). The group arrive at the railway
station in the fictitious small Kent town of Chillingbourne, near Canterbury, late on Friday night. Peter has been
stationed at a nearby Army camp, Alison is due to start working on a farm in the area, Bob had left the train by
mistake, hearing the announcement "next stop Canterbury" and thinking he was in Canterbury. As they leave the
station together Alison is attacked by a mysterious assailant in uniform who pours glue on her hair, before escaping. It
transpires that this has happened quite a few times before. Alison asks Bob if he could spend the weekend in
Chillingbourne to help her solve the mystery. The next day, while riding a farm cart in the countryside, Alison meets
Peter, who surrounds her cart with his platoon of three Bren Gun Carriers. Alison agrees to meet Peter again. The three
decide to investigate the attack, enlisting the help of the locals, including several young boys who play large-scale
war games.



They soon identify the culprit as a local magistrate, Mr Thomas Colpeper (Eric Portman), a gentleman farmer and pillar
of the community, who also gives local history lectures to soldiers stationed in the district. On a train journey to
Canterbury on the Monday morning, they find themselves in the same compartment with Colpeper. They confront him with
their suspicions, which he doesn't deny, and they discover that his motive is to prevent the soldiers from being
distracted away from his lectures by female company and to help keep the local women faithful to their absent British
boyfriends.



In Colpeper's words, Chaucer's pilgrims travelled to Canterbury to "receive a blessing, or to do penance". On
arriving in the city of Canterbury, devastated by wartime bombing, all three young people receive blessings of their
own. Alison discovers that her boyfriend, believed killed in the war, has survived after all; his father, who had
blocked their marriage because he thought his son could do better than a shopgirl, finally relents. Bob receives
long-delayed letters from his sweetheart, who is now a WAC in Australia. Peter, a cinema organist before the war, gets
to play the music of J.S. Bach on the large organ at Canterbury Cathedral, before leaving with his unit. He decides not
to report Mr Colpeper to the Canterbury police, as he had planned to do - in its way a blessing for Colpeper, when he
had expected instead to do penance.





Enjoy and Seed!!
