Summer 1939. Influential families in Nazi Germany have sent their daughters to a finishing school in an English seaside town to learn the language and be ambassadors for a future looking National Socialist. A teacher there sees what is coming and is trying to raise the alarm. But the authorities believe he is the problem. Written by Andy Evans
Entertaining but we know right from the start that the horrible plans of the nasty Germans will be foiled.
Anachronistic in several aspects: antisemitism was not something rare, neither was racism or even eugenics in the Anglo-Saxon world. So why all the terrified looks and thrilling music when we discover this. Neither was listening to German radio for German girls in an Anglo-German school.
