While Wings of the Morning is the first British film in technicolour it was made by an American company and the end product is a load of Anglo-Irish clap-trap starring the French actress Annabella with Henry Fonda inserted as ‘a Canadian.’ The London views, apart from that of Grosvenor House, have no real baring on the story but they appear to be worth noting.
