Hello to all

Having looked at this site before I've gotten around to signing up.

I mainly like British films from post-war to the early 70s. There's a lot to read on this site, I'm looking forward to gaining loads of interesting information from the knowledgeable users here.

Regards

Danbert

Question Hello to all British movie lovers
I am delighted to have found this wonderful site which I hope will enable me to discuss and share information on British film. My love is for films of the thirties and forties and in particular ones which were made as part of the War effort.e.g The Gentle Sex, First of the Few, One of our aircraft is missing etc. I am a fan of Powell and Pressburgers films my favourite being A Canterbury Tale. My favourite British film stars are. Phyliss Calvert, Patricia Roc, Eric Portman, James Mason, Leslie Howard and in particular Derrick de Marney. I am currently trying to research any information on Derrick and am finding it difficult to pick much up from search engines other than the usual stuff about Young & Innocent and Things to Come. I know he started very young on the stage and made quite a few films during the thirties prior to his role as Robert Tisdall in Y & I. He started The Independent Theatre Club in Kingsway in 1930 with his brother Terrence also an actor. Later he also produced and directed, once again with Terrence through their own company Concanen films, documentaries for the MOI mainly about the polish airforce and also features during the 1940s. Concanen operated from 161 New Bond St, in London and was named after their Mother Eileen's maidename. I am hoping that one of you fellow buffs out there can tell me whether he was ever married and to whom? If there were any children? And when he died in February 1978, what he died of? Or anything really which may be of interest. Please feel free to discuss other topics with me especially Powell and Pressburger.

Thanks Maralyn

Hello. I am posting here for the first time; I am from the US, born, raised and lived most of my life in New York City and Boston, and now live in the Chicago area.

I grew up with parents who introduced me to British films at a very young age.

A very brief list of favorites would include:

Historical:
Lawrence of Arabia
The Bridge Over the River Kwai

Comedy:
The Happiest Days of Your Life
The Belles of St. Trinian's

Science Fiction:
Things to Come

Drama:
The Invaders (I believe the title in Britain might be "The 49th Parallel")

Fantasy:
The Man Who Could Work Miracles
A Christmas Carol, with Alistair Sim

Default Maralyn's Introduction
Sorry everyone only just seen your response to my introduction.

Penfold

Thanks for the warning but too late! Another Eric Portman fan is hard to resist ha! ha!

Batman

Sorry only just seen your response also re Pat Roc and your question about Maxwell Reed. I'm sure you know he was in one of Eric's little known films Daybreak. Another favourite of mine was also in this Ann Todd. I have several stills from Eric's films and some publicity shots and Daybreak is one of them. I didn't buy one with Maxwell in he's the baddy and gets poor Eric into lots of trouble!

Regards

Maralyn

But Eric gets his own back on poor ol' Max in Dear Murderer.

Hello, TimR!

(While the British people are talking amongst themselves, let me welcome you to this website! I'm from Chicago, too. As Sufjan Stevens says, "Come on feel the Illinoise!")

You can learn a lot here ...
