The films of British director Michael Powell (see also July 18), and those which he made in collaboration with Emeric Pressburger, have enjoyed an extensive revival over the last few years at the PFA and, more recently, at the New York Museum of Modern Art. The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, A Canterbury Tale, I Know Where I'm Going, A Matter of Life and Death, The Small Back Room...: all are titles familiar to PFA audiences. But the final two Powell/Pressburger collaborations, both made in 1956, are screening here for the first time tonight. The first, The Pursuit of the Graf Spee, combines Powell's fascinating, stylistic use of color with the Powell/Pressburger talent for telling a good story in quasi-documentary fashion. In this case, it's the story of the first major naval victory for Britain in World War II, a tense exercise in subterfuge and diplomacy that resulted in the defeat of the German battleship, the Graf Spee.
