The Masters  
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.

Into a life of azure
Lyrics by Fritz Rotter
Music by Ralph Erwin

Into a life of azure
We stroll a little bit
Into a life of azure
Into an unknown happiness
We are all looking for
Love, sunshine and music
And a little bliss
And joy and tenderness!
Come along into a life of azure,
Into an unknown happiness!
