The archives at BFI show that Miss Grant Goes to the Door was made by the Ministry of Information in 1940 and the short film was produced and directed by Brian. Two spinsters (Caroline and Edith) have a rude interruption to their morning tea when German Paratroopers land at the time the Nation feared a German invasion. The film includes some subtle tips on what to do in such an event and ends with the lines "Well if it had not been for you the Jerries might have got away with it. The great thing ladies is that you kept your heads... You know, the front line is in every home these days". To see the film, scroll down and click the clip below.
