Film Details

A Canterbury Tale (1944)

Duration: 2hrs 5mins
Director: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
Performers: Eric Portman, Sheila Sim, Dennis Price
BBFC classification: U

Over five hundred years ago Chaucer wrote his poems about the pilgrims he saw making their way to St Thomas A Beckett's shrine in Canterbury Cathedral where he went to seek a blessing or to do penance. Through the stories of four modern pilgrims we see that the tradition and spirit of A Canterbury Tale is unchanged.
