If I'm able to see "Colonel Blimp" on my local screen it might just make my year

Hopefully this means that several of their films will be shown around the country, too. Powell and Pressburger are probably at the heart of British cinema and it’s greatest exponents. I often prefer their more minor films because of how they capture life in an unusual but authentic way. I’ve been hoping for some years that there’d be a huge box set release of their films, but because they are owned by different companies it’ll take a massive effort from someone to achieve that, so I’m sadly resigned to never seeing it happen.

Incredible insight! Lord of the Rings and The Tempest would have been incredible thru their eyes!

I must have seen film of `The Tales of Hoffman ` when it was first released, because the 3 disc long playing record set , bought at that time, is still in my collection . At first it was played on the green Dansette record player that I had as a teenager ,then through the years almost continuously on whatever player I had at the time .Finally came the first DVD ,so I could enjoy at last what I had only imagined as I listened to the recorded soundtrack and now ,thanks to Martin Scorsese the updated and complete DVD.

Mine too, ever since I first saw it tv way back in 1975. Have introduced it a few times at my local art house.

Yes, it’s amazing. I enjoy watching it on psychedelics.

How wonderful. I have loved Powell and Pressburger’s work for filty years, and where I am not especially interested in the artists these film-making giants have influenced, knowing their work can be seen in state-of-the-art digital restoration is encouraging.
