Great points about Rebecca, MissG.

I will look into the link you posted about Letter from an Unknown Woman.

The interesting thing with The Innocents is it's fine connection towards Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca. Rebecca is a representation of evil that exists spiritually. We see this spiritual evil in The innocents through Peter Quint.

I agree with you about Frederick Stafford in Topaz. I felt that Stafford couldn't give any emotional pain that Andre goes through. I think Louis Jourdan would have played Andre very well if he was casted. Another problem was Hitchcock didn't have enough time to work on the script. Samuel Taylor had ...

I read Thelma Schoonmaker interview. Its interesting to see that Powell's favorite was A Matter of Life and Death.

I remember watching parts of The Pumpking Eater. But not the entire film. With The Innocents, I liked how the story becomes mysterious and mysterious. When we think that the mystery is almost over at the end, it starts again by developing into an another idea.

Kingrat, I will certainly look into Thelma Schoonmaker interview. I read that Pressburger was strongly involved in "the cutting" of Powell and Pressburger films and he also worked with music composers on the type of music that should be composed for the film. What I meant by "I wish P...

One thing is we don't know how much Pressburger is involved in the storyboard of the Powell-Pressburger films. Powell was certainly a great director. But he also says that he couldn't have made those films without the involvement of Pressburger. Powell's Peeping Tom is an interesting film. But I wis...

Moirafinnie, I agree with you about Pressburger's involvement in the casting. I also want to point out that Powell and Pressburger films would not have been structurally strong without the involvement of Pressburger. I think Pressburger focused a lot on small details that is essential to the develop...

Red River, I agree with you. This is one of the reasons why I love The Lady Vanishes and Rope. SPOILERS (Topaz) What I love about Topaz is it demonstrates the true feel of tragedy. Topaz is a film where Andre (Frederick Stafford) risks everything to find out who actually Columbine (the leader of Top...

Hello MissG, Thank you so much for reading my comments, MissG. Erwin Hillier did the cinematography for both A Canterbury Tale and I Know Where I'm Going. Although they are referred to as "Powell & Pressburger", still I felt that Pressburger is less mentioned in the making of the films...

Hello Everyone, What do you think about Jack Clayton and his filmmaking? The film I loved from Jack Clayton was The Innocents (1961). Here are the other films he directed - The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne (1987), Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983), The Great Gatsby (1974) , Our Mother's Hous...

I always felt that Jack Cardiff is praised for his contributions far more than Emeric Pressburger's contributions in Powell & Pressburger films. But Michael Powell points out that he couldn't have made those films without Pressburger. Jack Cardiff's cinematography is good. But I think Pressburge...

Hello Everyone, Here is the list of Hitchcock films with a little music and no background music. We can disregard Hitchcock's silent films, because they are silent. But the music is played on the background of Hitchcock's silent films when they are released on DVD. 1. Murder (1930) - only one or two...

SPOILERS (The Lady Vanishes, Foreign Correspondent, Rebecca, and Sabotage) As you know, Hitchcock came to America to make Titanic. But instead, Hitchcock ended making a film where the story takes place at a house that is as large as Titanic was. I am referring to Manderley in Rebecca. Hitchcock's Sa...

I agree. It does look interesting.
