Also known as Stairway to Heaven, directed by Michael Powell. It’s one of the best movies, period, and it is finally on DVD, appearing today. I’ve been waiting for years and I just ordered mine; I’ll also be teaching it in Law and Literature this spring. It’s a law trial, a primer on Anglo-American relations, a love story, and a meditation on hope and death. Here is a review.
I saw this on Turner Classic Movies about three years ago and could never for the life of me remember what it was called. It is truly a spectacular film, thanks for the reminder!
What’s the impact of a MR recommendation? Will this cause a spike on Netflix? Let me order this title tomorrow and I bet they will have a delay on this movie!
The Powell/Pressburger films are total classics. See them all!
