Michael Powell

on BBC Two England

Beginning a season in tribute to the great British film director, who died last month. Starting with A Pretty British Affair
The story of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger who confronted the complacency and parochialism of the British cinema with a series of brilliant subversive and often mystifying films.
Almost alone among British directors, their work has had international appeal, influencing such American directors as Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola who both pay their respects in this film.
