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]

There are probably as many reasons why people like P&P films as there are people in the world.

The subject came up at one of the discussions at the NFT. Someone asked the killer question "Why do the people here like Powell (& Pressburger) films?" So I thought I'd ask the members of the group (and anyone else). Here are their replies.

• Alan Head
• Al Hirst
• Belinda Price
• Doug Randall
• John F. Hand
• Johnny Socha
• Marianne Gilchrist
• Paula Vitaris
• Roger Mellor
• Stephen Onyskay
• Steve Crook
• Tim Bishop
• Tipu (Dibyaduti Purkayastha)
• Tom Elliott
• Tracey Brown
• Trevor Williams

These replies have also expanded into "When I discovered" P&P for some people.

You can email me with your own reasons & I'll add them here.
