The late film was A Canterbury Tale (1944), which was probably a mistake, because I woke up this morning thinking, "That was a weird dream. It was like The Canterbury Tales, but it was World War 2 and Eric Portman was there..." 


The coat hanger scene and the sitting in a field scene are probably the best; both feature Eric Portman and Sheila Sim 

War time Canterbury and Kent also star

Dennis Price plays the most relaxed British Army Sergeant in film history up to that point and probably held that title until John Le Mesurier played Sergeant Wilson in the film version of Dad's Army (1971) 


It's the 1940s, Eric Portman stars a very charming man who, as Dennis Price's character puts it, is obviously "cracked"

At the start of the film I thought Sheila Sim was rather annoying, but then I fell in love... like all the men in the film, I think!
