I found news of a new (well, I use the term loosely) nine film boxset Powell & Pressburger: The Collection which is being released by Granada Ventures, at www.powell-pressburger.org.
The box, released in this, Michael Powell's cententary year, will only be available from HMV both on-line and in store from August. If you're a fan, you should already have most of the titles (and be aware that Criterion are rumoured to be releasing both 49th Parallel and A Canterbury Tale soon, and that Sony still has their restored SE of A Matter of Life and Death to announce in R1) but you won't have They're a Weird Mob, which is making it's DVD debut in R2 (though it's out in R4). Price is £39.99.
