Michael Powell
Michael Latham Powell (30 September 1905 – 19 February 1990) was an English film director, celebrated for his partnership with Emeric Pressburger.
Through their production company "The Archers", they together wrote, produced and directed a series of classic British films, notably "49th Parallel" (1941), "
The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp" (1943), "A Matter of Life and Death" (1946, also called "Stairway to HeavenBlack Narcissus" (1947), "The Red Shoes" (1948), and "The Tales of Hoffmann" (1951).
His later controversial 1960 film "Peeping Tom", while today considered a classic, and a contender as the first "slasher", was so vilified on first release that his career was seriously damaged.
Many film-makers such as Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and George A. Romero have cited Powell as an influence.
In 1981, he received the BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award along with his partner Pressburger, the highest honour the British Film Academy can give a filmmaker.

My Friend the King
My Friend the King is a 1932 British comedy film, directed by Michael Powell and starring Jerry Verno.
The film was a follow- up to" Two Crowded Hours", Powell's unexpectedly popular directorial debut of the previous year, with comedian Verno reprising his role as a chirpy Cockney taxi driver who gets mixed up in shady doings.
This film however was less well- received, with Powell recalling it as" a complete failure", also noting that he worked on six films during 1932 and that" they could n't all be good ... and they were n't".
" My Friend the King" is one of eleven quota quickies directed by Powell between 1931 and 1936 of which no print is known to survive.
