Looking at the previous post, with Vera Lynn and the aircraft behind her, it reminded me of something, then Turner Classic Movies happened to show what it was. A Matter of Life and Death, from 1946.
I wrote about this movie here over ten years ago. Back then just getting a few minutes of it captured and posted as a Flash Video was a big pain, but now YouTube has a complete copy. As with most every Powell/Pressburger production, aka The Archers, it’s fantastic and strange, with striking visual designs.
Richard Attenborough, looking unbelievably young, appears early on. There’s a motorcycle ride starting at 38:45 into the video that was quite obviously borrowed by David Lean for the opening of Lawrence of Arabia.
