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]

The Love Test
Monthly Film Bulletin: January 1935

---

     The search for a process to fire-proof celluloid in a chemical research laboratory. A girl is put in charge of the laboratory, and the men assistants, who resent this, plan to make her fall in love with one of them, and as a result to neglect her work.

     The idea of this film is better than its carrying out. The setting is unusual and interesting, but the development of the plot is conventional and obvious, and contains many improbabilities. In spite of this, it is quite good light entertainment for the average filmgoer. Adequate as a piece of screenwork.
