Dora is a 1933 British comedy film directed by St. John Legh Clowes. It was designed to humorously highlight some of the bizarre regulations of the Defence of the Realm Act 1914 (known as DORA), drawn up during the First World War, but still enforced. In a series of incidents the restrictions of the Act are witnessed by a bemused American tourist.
