This is an opportunity to review the work of the grand-dame of British cinema between the late 1930s and mid 1950s, Anna Neagle. Her work seems to move between gay - in the old sense of the word - comedies of the Binkie Beaumont variety set in Curzon Street, Park Lane and Mayfair, and earnest biopics of national heroines such as Queen Victoria, Edith Cavell, Florence Nightingale and - somewhat bizzarely - Nell Gwynne, albeit highly sanitised. Her style is impeccably upper crust, whether wartime undauntable or light and fluffy - it's been many years since I've heard anyone pronounce 'why' as 'hwy' - and you can see why she was such an incredible morale booster during the war, a sort of middle class Vera Lynn. Look beyond the distaste which the elitism and jingoism of these films might arouse in a modern viewer, and you can see that, actually, she's rather good at what she does. She is always safely, competently and rather stodgily directed by her husband, producer Herbert Wilcox. These films are a window on an England which, I assume, is no more, certainly not in my street.. The cumulative effect, however, is rather blood-curdling, and I would not recommend a serial-watch. One at a time over a period is best.
