Isn't this your second dream-film by the Archers? And then I had one almost two years ago now. If we can find more deep dreamers of non-existent films by the Archers, or dream more ourselves, I half think we should publish a collection! Perhaps dreams could be intermixed with reviews of their real films...

And then a few nights ago I watched Powell's Red Ensign (1934) and was astonished by the clarity of its exposition of the economics of 1930s-era shipbuilding and of industrial espionage amongst shipbuilders. Have been meaning to write about it, but am not sure I have much more to say than that. Considered to by his first stylistically idiosyncratic film, and I can well believe it. Fascinating, and, at 66 minutes, highly and effectively compressed.
