To state the obvious, Powell pretty much covers much of the working process in his two autobiographies, there's an excellent biography of Pressburger by his grandson (and Oscar-nominated documentarian) Kevin MacDonald and there are many books written about the two and their films in the last five years. And of course, there's a ton of material over at the British Film Institute and if I remember correctly, the Powell papers might be stored there at the moment. Out of curiosity, did P&P actually consider themselves to be adherents of melodrama? Dennis ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
