Fresh from the acclaim of The Red Shoes, British filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger created an atmospheric post-World War II gem, now fully restored to its original shadowy brilliance. This moody character study examines the travails of military bomb-disposal expert Sammy Rice (David Farrar), who struggles with a complex relationship with secretary-girlfriend Susan (Kathleen Byron) and some hellish professional demons as well. A frank, intimate character study that mixes suspense and romance with unforgettable results.
