The Masters  
The Powell & Pressburger Pages

Dedicated to the work of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and all the other people, both actors and technicians who helped them make those wonderful films.

A lot of the documents have been sent to me or have come from other web sites. The name of the web site is given where known. If I have unintentionally included an image or document that is copyrighted or that I shouldn't have done then please email me and I'll remove it.

I make no money from this site, it's purely for the love of the films.

[Any comments are by me (Steve Crook) and other members of the email list]

Fascinating trivia (and any goofs) connected with the film


- Emeric Pressburger's story "The Miracle of St. Anthony's Lane" was written for Kurt Gerron to film back in 1934. It had been optioned to make a film at least 4 times and each time the film was not made so the rights reverted to Pressburger. Pressburger said he could retire if he had a few more stories like that.

- Please note that this film is set in Soho in London, not SoHo in New York City.
