This compelling drama by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger ('A Matter Of Life And Death', 'The Red Shoes') is now acknowledged as one of their finest films. Their reworking of one of the tales from Chaucer's 14th century epic, largely set in wartime Kent, centres on American army sergeant John Smith, British soldier Dennis Price and landgirl Sheila Sim who, before making a modern-day pilgrimage to Canterbury, solve the bizarre mystery of a man who pours glue over the hair of village girls at night.
