I think that Glorious 39 is a good film with a very cunning twist...

This movie is about a woman called Anne who's nickname is Glorious, this movie is based in world war II At this moment in time Anne is an actress when the war breaks out her friends adn family are somewha connected in a devious plot to thrive Britain of it's hope as the goverment think that Britain will lose the war. Annes closest friends and family start dying as her boyfriend, Fellow actor and Hector, a man who thinks that if something must be said then he should be the one to say it even if is innapropiate to anyone. I think that the movie is a sinister twist on what really happend in WWII, the ending is the oddest part for me as a boy who contacts his uncles to find out what really happend takes them too see Anne! This movie is a must see and i would reccomend it to anyone (but there is a short "outburst" of swearing) This movie is a must have it is good, funny, dramatic, the edge of your seat moments and a thriller/gruesome twist.
