An interesting and unusual updating of the Chaucer story, brought to the screens by Powell & Pressburger whose direction is top quality here. The film has a dream-like quality to the visuals that reminded me a little of Bergman, while the episodic nature of the storyline works. It's quirky and unrealistic throughout, but the WW2 backdrop is an effective one and the performances generally strong across the board, particularly from the likes of a youthful Dennis Price.
