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.

TV Guide review


Sebastian (1968)

Bogarde shines as the title character, a mathematics wizard who is employed by the British government to decipher enemy codes. Besides his involvement with espionage, he starts up a romance with new code-breaking recruit York. Gielgud turns in his usual brilliant performance as the stout chief of the cryptography bureau. Inventive and amusing, but never really rising above the norm for long.
