Tonight I have watched The Battle Of The River Plate. I would describe this as more sentimental than Romantic, but considering its release date, November 1956 ( just 2 years after rationing) and its overt patriotism, Powell and Pressburger still manage to evoke the majesty and power of the sea and man's frailty within the world. It would seem that no matter how serious the situation, and world war is pretty bloody serious, Man is dwarfed by his surroundings. Powell and Pressburger still impress me with their work.
