Document: correspondence - Two letters from Dilys Powell to the organiser of a season of Powell's favourite films, to be screened at the Secombe Centre, Sutton, in 1991, to celebrate Powell's 90th birthday. Accompanying the first letter, dated 11 May 1991, is a list of Powell's choices divided into 6 'westerns', 6 'foreign' and 8 'favourites'. The second letter, dated 18 May 1991, provides more information as it is accompanied by Powell's reasons for the choice of her favourites. The letters are typewritten with Powell's handwritten corrections and annotations in pen. The films listed are as follows, with short extracts from Powell's commentary on her choices. Film dates are those given by Powell: Eight Favourites 'Bringing Up Baby' (Howard Hawks, 1938) ("my early introduction to American comedy") 'The Grapes of Wrath' (John Ford, 1940) ("startling in 1940 to find Hollywood equal to national tragedy") 'Citizen Kane' (Orson Welles, 1941) ("For me the best film ever made [...] I never see this tale of defeat under pressure without finding some beauty I had not seen before") 'Pat and Mike' (George Cukor, 1952) ("A self-indulgence") 'Rear Window' (Alfred Hitchcock, 1954) ("Impossible to make a list without Hitchcock, the real founder of the thriller") 'Some Like it Hot' (Billy Wilder, 1959) ("It has the best jokes in the business") 'The Lady with the Little Dog' (Josif Heifitz, 1960) ("it really is one of my all-time favourites [...] It is based on a short story by Chekhov; I think it is even better than Chekhov") 'Playtime' (Jacques Tati, 1968) ("The tourists enjoy themselves, the French enjoy themselves, you enjoy yourself") Foreign Films 'Le Million' (Rene Claire, 1932) 'Stolen Kisses' (Francois Truffaut, 1968) 'Umberto D' (Vittorio de Sica, 1953) 'Death in Venice' (Luchino Visconti, 1970) 'Pather Panchali' (Satyajit Ray, 1958) 'The Spirit of the Beehive' (Victor Erice, 1973) Westerns ('all, of course, from America') 'Stagecoach' (John Ford, 1939) '3.10 to Yuma' (Delmer Daves, 1957) 'High Noon' (Fred Zinnemann, 1952) 'Shane' (George Stevens, 1953) 'Red River' (Howard Hawks, 1948) 'The Outlaw Josey Wales' (Clint Eastwood, 1976) - DPS
