This compelling drama is now recognised as one of Powell and Pressburger's finest films. Their reworking of Chaucer's 14th century tale, largely set in wartime Kent, centres on American army sergeant John Sweet, 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.
