Collection of eleven classic films from influential filmmakers
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. 'The Battle of the River
Plate' (1956) tells the true story of the famous 1939 naval battle.
Hans Langsdorff (Peter Finch) is captaining the crack German
battleship Graf Spee through the South Atlantic, unaware that a
small number of lightweight British battle cruisers are hot on his
trail. When the British cruisers manage to trap the powerful German
ship in the Uruguayan harbour of Montevideo, they attempt to trick
Langsdorff into believing that an entire battle fleet is waiting to
destroy his vessel at sea. In 'A Canterbury Tale' (1944), a British
sergeant, a land girl and a United States Army officer arrive at a
Kent village on the same train. The newcomers are brought face to
face with the bizarre menace causing bewilderment in the tight-knit
community: someone is pouring glue onto the hair of girls who dare
to venture out at night with visiting servicemen. Powell and
Pressburger offered this 'propaganda' piece as their contribution
to the war effort, but the authorities were unsure how its oddball
tone would go down with the Allies. In '49th Parallel' (1941),
Laurence Olivier and Leslie Howard are among the stars who try to
prevent Nazi sailors, from a sunken U-Boat, reaching neutral USA
through Canada in this classic war film, which was intended to
persuade America to join World War II. Pressburger won an Academy
Award for the story and the film was directed by Powell. In 'I Know
Where I'm Going!' (1945), a woman (Wendy Hiller) has always known
what she wanted in life, and now she is about to marry a
millionaire. But when she ends up stranded on a Hebredian island
due to a storm, she begins to see things a little differently. 'Ill
Met By Moonlight' (1957) was the final film created by Powell and
Pressburger together. Set on the island of Crete during the Nazi
occupation, the film stars Dirk Bogarde and David Oxley as British
officers assigned to kidnap the German commander-in-chief General
Kreipe (Marius Goring) and spirit him back to Cairo. If successful,
the morale of the Germans would be weakened and the resistance
would be stronger. But once he is captured, the British officers
have to get him past German patrols at almost every turning. In
'The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp' (1943), stuffy ex-soldier
Clive Candy (Roger Livesey) recalls his career which began as a
dashing officer in the Boer War. As a young man he lost the woman
he loved (Deborah Kerr, who plays three roles) to a Prussian
officer (Anton Walbrook), whom he fought in a duel only to become
lifelong friends with. Candy cannot help but feel that his notions
of honour and chivalry are out of place in modern warfare. The
film's title comes from 'Evening Standard' cartoonist David Low's
satirical comic creation, Colonel Blimp. In 'The Red Shoes' (1948),
ballet impressario Boris Lermontov (Walbrook) hires up-and-coming
ballerina Victoria Page (Moira Shearer) and talented young composer
Julian Craster (Goring) to work with him on a new ballet, an
adaptation of the Hans Christian Andersen story 'The Red Shoes'.
The show is a great success and Victoria and Julian fall in love,
but Boris is jealous and makes moves to spoil their happiness. 'A
Matter of Life and Death' (1946) is a classic wartime propaganda
movie, commissioned by the Ministry of Information, but turned into
a fantastical allegory by the Archers, aka Powell and Pressburger.
David Niven plays an RAF pilot who is ready to be picked up by the
angels after bailing out of his plane. But an administrative error
in Heaven leads to a temporary reprieve, during which he must prove
his right to stay on Earth. A tribunal in heaven ensues to decide
the case. In 'They're a Weird Mob' (1966), Nino Culotta (Walter
Chiari) is an Italian immigrant who arrives in Australia with the
promise of a job as a journalist on his cousin's magazine, only to
find that when he gets there the magazine has folded, the cousin
has done a runner and the money his cousin sent for the fare was
borrowed from the daughter of the boss of a local construction
firm. 'The Tales of Hoffman' (1951) is an adaptation of Jacques
Offenbach's opera and follows Hoffman's (Robert Rounseville) tales
of his love for the doll Olympia, the courtesan Giuletta (Ludmilla
Tcherina) and the frail diva Antonia (Anne Ayars), and of how his
quest for the eternal woman was always thwarted by evil. Finally,
in 'Black Narcissus' (1946), a group of British nuns are sent into
the Himalayas to set up a mission in what was once the harem's
quarters of an ancient palace. The clear mountain air, the
unfamiliar culture and the unbridled sensuality of a young prince
(Sabu) and his beggar-girl lover (Jean Simmons) begin to play havoc
with the nuns' long-suppressed emotions. Whilst the young Mother
Superior, Sister Clodagh (Deborah Kerr), fights a losing battle for
order, the jaunty David Farrar falls in love with her, sparking
uncontrollable jealousy in another nun, Sister Ruth (Kathleen
Byron).
