Pamela Brown

Classic 1942 war film from Powell and Pressburger, nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 1943 Academy Awards (the same year they were also nominated for the 49th Parallel script).

Plucky Englishwoman Joan Webster travels to the remote islands of the Scottish Hebrides in order to marry a wealthy industrialist. Trapped by inclement weather on the Isle of Mull and unable to continue to her destination, Joan finds herself charmed by the straightforward, no-nonsense islanders around her, and becomes increasingly attracted to naval officer Torquil MacNeil, who holds a secret that may change her life forever.

Powell and Pressburger's heralded, technicolour adaptation of Jacques Offenbach's opera. A melancholy poet reflects on three women he loved and lost in the past: a doll, a Venetian courtesan, and the daughter of a celebrated composer.
