I always have to freeze that scene in IKWIG where she's with those magnificent enormous dogs outside and turns to look behind her and squee.

I should see that film again. I haven't since 2007.

That passage about her is amazing.

I can recommend both memoirs I've read by Michael Powell at this point, Million Dollar Movie and 200,000 Feet on Foula (1938), reprinted about twenty years ago under the much less interesting title of Edge of the World: The Making of a Film. I want the first volume of his autobiography—A Life in Movies (1986)—now.
