Episode 98 - Black Narcissus
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger direct Deborah Kerr, Flora Robson, Kathleen Byron, Sabu, David Farrar, Jean Simmons and more in an epic tale filled with ghosts of the past, the power of nature and the futility of trying to fight either force. Filmed in glorious Technicolor, almost completely on a soundstage, the film triumphs as a master work of cinema. In what turns out to be almost a double episode, Bob and I lose ourselves in diving deep into the subtext of the film and marvel at the technical mastery of the film makers. Truly a 10 out of 10 in every way, "Black Narcissus, is now on our must watch list. So if you haven't seen it, go find a copy and watch it! Up next, Gregory Peck in "The Gunfighter"
