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]

Unpretentious and fantastic story of a smash-and-grab raid, with a newspaper reporter - following the American tradition - bringing the crooks to justice.

It is all very ingenuous and is chiefly notable for the introduction of Isla Bevan, a new star, who looks like making good. Garry Marsh and Harold French both put up good performances, and the picture generally is quite fairly entertaining, if one is not too critical.
