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]

Some of Allan Gray's work:

• Hear Conrad Veidt sing (or speak-sing)
  "Where the lighthouse shines across the bay" from F.P.1 (1933) (3 Mbytes)
  Music by Allan Gray, lyrics by Donovan Parsons.

  Where the lighthouse shines across the bay,
  There's a cottage kissed by fume and spray,
  Cheerful logs to warm the winter day are blazing.
  List'ning to the breakers on the shore,
  From a tiny cottage thatched with straw,
  Stands a fair-haired lassie at the door star gazing.
  Watching the dark clouds, dreading the gale,
  Counting the days since her lover set sail.
  Where the lighthouse shines across the bay,
  Seagulls on the shore have heard her say:
  "Come home, my love, come home, dear love, come home."
