A Canterbury Tale

1944 NR 2h 4m 7.3

Three modern-day pilgrims investigate a bizarre crime in a small town while on their way to Canterbury.

A 'Land Girl', an American GI, and a British soldier find themselves together in a small Kent town on the road to Canterbury. The town is being plagued by a mysterious "glue-man", who pours glue on the hair of girls dating soldiers after dark. The three attempt to track him down, and begin to have suspicions of the local magistrate, an eccentric figure with a strange, mystical vision of the history of England in general and Canterbury in particular.
