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]

Two Crowded Hours (Fox)
     This picture (Annabelle's Affairs) will be preceeded by a British picture, "Two Crowded Hours". This is a real thriller, and the exciting sequence of events commences when a Cockney taxi-driver finds a body in his cab. The picture is relieved by some delicious comedy in Farjeon's inimitable style. The cast includes John Longdon, Jane Welsh, Michael Hogan and Jerry verno.
     Warners have decided, in view of the insistent demand to see John Barrymore in "Svengali" at the Hollywood Theatre, new York, to hold the picture over for another week. It has been doing the biggest business the Hollywood has known since it was built.
