THE SMALL BACK ROOM

United Kingdom | 1949 | Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger

THE SMALL BACK ROOM film still

Powell & Pressburger’s WWII-set noir is a neglected suspense classic that Powell called “my best film.” David Farrar and Kathleen Byron (both of Black Narcissus) star in the movie—the tale of a frustrated, crippled bomb-disposal expert, drifting into alcoholism, who takes on a new challenge: the defusing of a foolproof German device. Cleveland revival premiere. DCP. 107 min.

See 8/3 at 6:40 for a new documentary about Powell & Pressburger.
