My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

A Canterbury Tale (1944)

Famous cinematic masters Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger present a film about life in a small village near Canterbury, England during WWII.  The central mystery is who is the Glue Man, a creep who  likes to put glue in girls' hair.  The latest victim, a young British girl come to work the land while the men are away to fight, joins up with two soldiers, an American and a Brit, to find out the Glue Man's identity as well as his motive.   It's not one of the due's best works, although it's still quite good.  The leads are very likable and the plot, while pedestrian, still is able to keep one entertained.  Grade: B+
