I'm not a fan of his cult film "Peeping Tom" but the script writer of that film, Leo Marks, wrote a superb WWII memoir about British codebreakers called "Between Silk and Cyanide."<BR/><BR/>My own favorite of Powell's films is probably his adaptation of the Bela Bartok opera "Bluebeard's Castle" - which should always be listened to by candlelight (in the Boulez version).Dan Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14403040512986553644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-67825690451886370732007-10-26T11:32:00.000-04:002007-10-26T11:32:00.000-04:00I should've mentioned that; that was a wonderful f...I should've mentioned that; that was a wonderful film.Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-33610187000008887272007-10-26T05:13:00.000-04:002007-10-26T05:13:00.000-04:00I think her best role was playing the Governess Mi...I think her best role was playing the Governess Miss Giddens in Jack Clayton's THE INNOCENT'S.
