Yellow Canary

Yellow Canary, WWII Movie starring Anna Neagle

Yellow Canary, WWII Movie starring Anna Neagle and Richard Greene.

(1943) In this British drama, a beautiful London socialite with obvious Nazi sympathies has to flee to Canada.  To be honest, I had a hard time understanding what was going on.  What I appreciated is that because it was filmed at about the time that it was actually happening it was probably a realistic portrayal of this slice of British life.

Who were spies and whose side were they on?

I enjoyed watching Anna Neagle again, and Richard Greene, who was at the time on furlough from the British army, was adorable.

The ending came together a little too conveniently I thought.  I did pay close attention when the characters were talking about a supposed plot to sabotage the Queen Mary which happened to be the ocean liner which carried my Dad from the US to Great Britain in November of 1944.

Watch the movie on YouTube.
