Glorious 39

A mysterious tale set around a traditional British family on the eve of World War Two. Oblivious to the looming shadow of World War II, the wealthy Keyes maintain a confident façade in the British countryside until daughter Anne becomes an unexpected pawn. Her accidental discovery of secret recordings creates a rift in the family.
Superb film, the sort of thing the British do well.
One of the better Poliakoff's, he can sometimes draw a story out into dullness and indulgence but not here.
Aristocrats, shilling & plotting for Hitler in the run up to WWII, and gas lighting a young woman that found out.
Disturbing reminder that families were advised to euthanize too due to expectations of rationing and shortages. Horrible.
