The back room boys are at it again! \\xa0That\\u2019s right, we\\u2019re jumping back into the endlessly charming (so far) films of Powell and Pressburger. \\xa0Sammy Rice (played by David Farrah) is a scientist working for an ill-defined problem-solving crew that the British government relies on for technical advice during the Second World War. \\xa0Will his ever-suffering girl Susan (Kathleen Byron) give him the support he needs to battle his addictions, his injuries, Byzantine office politics, and a series of nefarious unexplored bombs dropped by German planes across the English countryside? \\xa0

If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Leonard Kastle\\u2019s\\xa0The Honeymoon Killers\\xa0(1970).
