Everyone should see at least one Powell/Pressburger film. Just don't ask me to tell you which one. I'd say see them all!!

P&P two visionaries, truly ahead of their time. David Lean also started up with them as an editor.
I live in Suffolk near Emeric Pressburgers grave. I'll drive that way tomorrow and pay my respects. Their camera work was just beautiful, like fine art. Makes me mourn a time I never even knew. Thanks xx
I'm usually allergic to Stairway to Heaven, but this piano version is rather lovely and sits well with the imagery. Michael Powell, the very best of British. What a genius.
De l’élégance, encore de l’élégance, toujours de l’élégance!
Well done! A fine tribute and well curated at that. P&P are poets of the screen. That lecture scene in A Canterbury Tale…gets me every time.
Sister Clodagh urgently pulls the rope that rings the bell, a zillion feet up above the chasm, hoping desperately that Mr. Dean will hear her in time...OMG...the suspense. True story: Katy Byron got in a taxi in Los Angeles, a few years later, and the driver turned around, and cracked, "Hey, you're that crazy nun!!" She was delighted.
Excellent use music and images.
PERFECTION!!!
Just like the movie the Red Shoe's i was able to have inspiration on a piece of artwork that im working on and expand my imagination after listening and watching that tribute .
Nobody's movies have inspired me in my life like the M&M filmakers have and the piano playing was absolutely beautiful .
Absolutely wonderful. An acutely moving tribute to two of the most talented, underrated filmmakers to ever work in the industry. Seriously, they should be up there with Lean, Hitchcock and Welles.
LHAA1234 It's been a while, but thank you! I agree, Powell and Pressburger are so underrated. Very few other films I've seen have the same artistic sublimity that they captured again and again.
Wow, just wow!
These Powell & Pressburger movies really seem to gain something when they are compared and contrasted with one another.
What a gorgeous video
Wow! I thought the music choice would drag it down. Best stairway for this beautiful montage! It is just right. What a lovely loving tribute. For me A matter of life and death as a kid, Colonel Blimp as a 50 year old and I know where I'm going as romance and home kind of. Still got Some to watch!! Thank you xxxx
Lovely! Well done! My favorite P+P is Black Narcissus. But I have to say my favorite Michael Powell movies (without Pressburger) are Peeping Tom and The Thief of Bagdad. :)
***** Thanks much! I put off watching Peeping Tom for a while, but finally watched it and was pleasantly surprised (as pleasing as such a twisted topic can be)--what a wonderful film.

caustic0000000000nl Thank you! I enjoyed making it.
Magnificent
Beautiful tribute. Thank you for making it
Nicely done,chap
You've done a majestic job capturing the magic of Powell and Pressburger's films. I must share this.
Theresa Brown I know it's been a long time, but thank you! I just discovered Powell & Pressburger a couple of years ago and was disappointed when I couldn't find a video tribute--these films deserve to be better known.
Chapeau, Melanie
Perfect !!!!!
That is just STUNNING. I was fortunate to work in the same theatre with Dame Wendy Hiller, and present flowers to her when she was made Dame at the Old Vic Theatre. WONDERFUL actress! What was the film? And which cathedral was that?
Oh, how wonderful! She really is timeless. The film she's in is I Know Where I'm Going. It's a beautiful film. And the cathedral footage is Canterbury Cathedral from A Canterbury Tale.
Like red shoes
Excellent. And I get the use of "Stairway to Heaven" (Led Zeppelin hit), as sound track. But the music is a bit of a distraction. Why gild the lily? Otherwise, a very fine documentary tribute.
It's more than a distraction; it's a turnoff.
Music too loud. Gave up on the tribute because of it. Such a shame.
