I guess I won't watch this next film. There is no captioning. #Deaf #TCMParty #TheSmallBackRoom

#TheSmallBackRoom (1949, Emeric Pressburger, Michael Powell) is a lesser-known but still worthy addition to the Powell/Pressburger catalogue. A familiar story - think "The Lost Weekend" - but the protagonist is a british scientist during WWII, making the stakes much higher. Excellent cinematography.

There's a sadness and bitterness in this that's as surprising as the flashes of surrealism. #TheSmallBackRoom #PowellAndPressburger
#blackandwhitefilm of the day: The Small Back Room, 1949. Fascinating dark war drama from always-interesting Powell and Pressburger sees David Farrar fight the loss of a leg and alcohol to find the secret of a new German weapon on @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social at 1.05pm youtu.be/Uhw5du2xAjM?...
