"True cinematic visionaries and innovators, Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger worked together on 24 films from between 1939 and 1972, with Powell handling direction and Pressburger responsible for the scripts—though their duties blended often enough that, for the films they produced together as The Archers, their credit read, “Directed and written by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.” The Archers worked with an exceptionally talented group of longtime collaborators who helped craft and deliver their narrative worlds. These included production designer Alfred Junge, production designer and costume designer Hein Heckroth, cinematographer Jack Cardiff, sketch artist Ivor Beddoes, art director Arthur Lawson, and composer Brian Easdale, as well as on-screen collaborators including Roger Livesey, Anton Walbrook, Moira Shearer, Deborah Kerr, Kathleen Byron, and Sabu." – MOMA
