Anna Neagle in Yellow Canary

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

with Richard Greene, Margaret Rutherford

Officially requested to leave wartime Britain because of her Nazi sympathies, Sally Maitland boards a Canada-bound ship where she meets John Garrick, a young Englishman, and Jan Orlock, a Polish refugee.
In Halifax, Nova Scotia, they become involved in a daring German plot - but are these three ill-matched characters really what they seem?
Anna Neagle plays one of her most unusual roles in this World War II mystery thriller, directed by her then husband.
