I Know Where I'm Going (1945)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: bw 91m
Director: Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger
Cast: Wendy Hiller, Roger Livesey, Pamela Brown, Finlay Currie

Synopsis:

A young woman travels to the Scottish isles to marry, but finds herself deflected from her course by the weather and the local laird.

Review:

A profound respect for Britain's geography and traditions is present here, as in much of the Archers' work. It is a charming film, humble yet full of portent, with some unabashed over-(and under)acting. The production was complicated by the fact that Livesey could not film in Scotland, leading to the use of a stand-in, though one can hardly tell. Erwin Hillier's against-the-light cinematography and close-ups are magnificently mythic.
