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.

TV Guide review


Hotel Splendide (1932)

Verno is a publicity manager who inherits a seaside hotel. He moves in, only to discover the property was built on a field used by jewel thieves to bury their loot. He accidentally finds the hidden booty before the crooks and collects a handsome reward. Not much of a comedy; most notable as an early effort for the director of The Red Shoes.
