Let George Do It (1940)
Shortly after the start of World War II, a ukelele player (George) takes the wrong boat and finds himself in (still uninvaded) Norway. He is mistaken for a fellow British intelligence agent by a woman (Mary), and becomes involved in trying to defeat Nazi agents.
Band Waggon (1940)
A gang of spies held up in a haunted castle gives this team of celebrated British wireless comedians plenty of scope for laughs.
Thunder In The City (1937)
A visiting American engages in a bold business promotion, the likes of which the British have not seen.
Love From A Stranger (1937)
Ann Harding plays a lovely but somewhat naive young woman who goes on a European vacation after winning a lottery. Swept off her feet by charming Basil Rathbone, Harding finds herself married before she is fully able to grasp the situation. Slowly but surely, Rathbone's loving veneer crumbles; when he casually asks Harding to sign a document turning her entire fortune over to him, she deduces that her days are numbered.
Number Seventeen (1932)
A gang of thieves gather at a safe house following a robbery, but a detective is on their trail.
Gran Bretagna (1931)
Grierson set out to make "propaganda," and this film--with it's voice-over proclaiming the great value of the British industrial worker, without a hint of ambiguity or doubt--fits that category well. The authoritatarian narrator feels out-of-date and unsophisticated, but the footage is well shot and interesting, and the transparency of the propaganda aspect is almost a reflief at a time when so many films have hidden agendas.
