I am somewhat of a film buff yet these Archers films are a relatively new discovery for me. It embarrasses me to admit that! The first time I made the connection was when I watched "The Red Shoes." I couldn't take my eyes off it. I was totally swept up to the point where I was unaware of time passing. When I came across "Black Narcissus" and saw the opening Archers credit with the archery target, I remembered "The Red Shoes" and decided to watch it. From the very first scene, I was hooked. One would never suspect this was not shot on location. Talent like this exists? After that, I made it a point to seek out other Archers films: "A Matter of Life and Death," "The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp," and others. Each unique in their theme but also each a literal work of art to the highest degree. Powell and Pressburger is one of those chance pairings in life from which humanity itself garners so much benefit. Thanks for posting this.

What a marvellous legacy to leave us. One of my all time favourite films!
A artistic genius of film.
I can't believe that no one has commented on this amazing video! I've also seen the longer documentary on Cardiff's life and work called "Cameraman".
🙏 Thanks …
