Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger teamed up as filmmakers just before World War 2 began, and in that timing managed to make artistic war propaganda films that allowed the citizens of England and the world to get through that era with some creative integrity. They are best known for the ballet movie “The Red Shoes,” but also scored with the classics “The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp,” “Black Narcissus” and “A Matter of Life and Death.”

“Made in England: The Films of Powell & Pressburger” is in theaters on July 26th, and in select markets in August. See local listings. Featuring Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. Narrated by Martin Scorsese. Directed by David Hinton. Not Rated.
