Rico,

You're just the guy I'm looking for! That recent list of great films of the 40's that was posted here included Col. Blimp (and a few others from Powell). The only Powell I've seen is Peeping Tom, which I understand almost ruined his career.

You can save me some time, since it seems you've already done the research...what are the essential Powell/Press. films, in your opinion, and what are the ones to avoid?

I've read some of the reviews at imdb...lotta films, lotta mixed reviews...mostly thumbs up across the board for Col Blimp.

Can you (and anybody who wants to jump in is welcome) help me out?

Thanks in advance,

Gary
