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]

     Romance. 'Curley' is a lift boy in a block of flats, in love with Emily "Who Does" for Mr Canley, one of the tenants, but their wages are so low that marriage seems to be impossible. 'Curley' plans a surprise supper for Emily, on her return from hospital, in the flat of a tenant, Mr Carr who is supposed to be abroad; but Mr Carr interrupts them and there is a fight. 'Curley' is charged with illegal entry and assault by Mr Carr, but everything ends happily.

     This is a pleasant unpretentious story, pleasantly told. The direction, however, lacks polish and is not convincing. It is full of good ideas insufficiently carried out; the scenes at the seaside particularly fail in this respect. While the photography is uninteresting, it is exceptionally clear and well done. Esmond Knight does not appear too happy as 'Curley' but Margaret Lockwood is quite successful as Emily.
