The B-Side Episode 158 – Powell and Pressburger (featuring Katie Walsh)
The B-Side Ep. 158 – Powell and Pressburger (with Katie Walsh)
Welcome to The B-Side! In this podcast, we discuss movie directors—not the films that brought them fame or maintained it, but those they created in between.
Today, we focus on two icons: Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger! Our B-Sides feature I Know Where I’m Going!, The Small Back Room, Gone to Earth, and The Elusive Pimpernel. Joining us is the esteemed Katie Walsh, podcaster and film critic for the Tribune News Service & LA Times.
We delve into her delightful experiences of watching restoration prints of Powell & Pressburger films on the big screen, the importance of moviegoing etiquette (please put your phone away!), and the Frank Marshall creature feature Arachnophobia.
We also touch on Powell’s notorious (and masterful) work Peeping Tom, the duo’s later projects (Oh… Rosalinda!!, The Battle of the River Plate), Powell’s autobiography, and Jennifer Jones’s career.
