Yellow Canary, The

Synopsis: Feature film. Anna Neagle is a supposed Nazi sympathiser who is really British to the core and helps foil a German plot to blow up a harbour in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The film opens with two British air-raid wardens discussing the Shakespeare-Bacon controversy. One of them ties Shakespeare to the Blitz by quoting the lines from The Tempest beginning ‘be not afeared, the isle is full of noises’ (III ii).
