The Red Shoes, A Matter of Life and Death, Black Narcissus and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp all bear the unique credit 'Written, Produced and Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger'.Frequently controversial, always experimental, The Archers suffered a long period of neglect before being rediscovered by such prominent admirers as Martin Scorsese, Derek Jarman and Francis Ford Coppola.Written by his grandson, and containing extracts from private diaries and correspondence, this biography defends the notion of film as a collaborative art and illuminates the adventurous life and work of the film-maker who brought continental grace, with and style to British cinema.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 136mmItem Width: 36mmItem Weight: 540gAuthor: Kevin MacdonaldGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Films & TV, Biography, Music Dance & TheatreType: LinguisticsRelease Year: 1996 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
