Question about the pet euthanizations
The scene where Anne is walking through the veterinary building totally creeped me out! I almost cried at all those pets.
Can anyone tell me why all the people were euthanizing their pets just before the War? I know that the children really were evacuated from London during this time, but I don’t recall ever reading or hearing about a mandate forcing the people to euthanize their pets? Did this really happen or was it just a convention for the film? (As Anne’s subsequent release of the cats foreshadowed her own imprisonment and release).
I really enjoyed this film by the way and I’m glad to have caught it on Showtime recently. Yes, it could be a little slow, especially with a heroine who was a bit slow on the uptick. I don’t know, I guess I liked it anyway because of the way it harkened back to classic spy thriller films of the 30’s and 40’s.
