The Powell & Pressburger Images

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 images 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.

Be warned: As AMOLAD is my favourite film I tend to have more items related to it than to any of the other films - Steve

Now here is an odd one, found by Patrick Boner.
(Click on the image to see a larger version although it is about the size of this image, smaller than regular 10x8 studio stills)
That label isn't stuck onto the front of the photo, it's part of the photo so it was printed with that on the negative. That's not something that I've ever seen before.
It explicitly mentions that it's a British film, thus suggesting that this photo wasn't made for a British audience. It calls it "A Matter of Life and Death", not "Stairway to Heaven", so it's not American. The label is in English so presumably for a country where English is the main language (that cuts it down a bit). Is that a date in the upper right of the label? If so, "24.1.47" must be 24 January 1947 which also excludes any other countries that use the American date format of month-day-year (there aren't 24 months in a year).

So where might it be from? Please contact me if you have any suggestions.
