Midwife Star's Shocking Role: Making Porno for Troops

Natalie Quarry, recognized for her role as a midwife in the BBC drama Call The Midwife, is now featured in the satirical film Think Of England. This movie is set in 1943 and centers on a diverse group brought together by the government to produce specific films intended to boost the morale of soldiers fighting on the front lines. Quarry herself plays an aspiring actress named Holly, who dreams of escaping her difficult background and the harsh realities of war to achieve stardom.

The film delves into themes of power, coercion, and vulnerability within wartime Britain. Nudity is an essential element of the movie, particularly in its sex scenes. Quarry expressed enthusiasm for this aspect of the role, viewing it as an opportunity to explore different perspectives and try something new in her acting career. She found the experience fulfilling despite initial nerves and praised her co-star, Jack Bandiera, for making intense scenes easier to navigate due to a sense of trust.

While the idea of Winston Churchill ordering the creation of such films is considered an urban myth, the movie explores this possibility. Quarry noted that while the premise might not be historically proven, it's not inconceivable that such plans were considered. The film offers a unique blend of satire and drama, allowing actors like Quarry to engage with challenging narratives and diverse character arcs, which she finds rewarding as an artist.
