Honeymoon (Luna de Miel). 1959. UK. Directed by Michael Powell. Screenplay by Powell, Luis Escobar. With Anthony Steel, Ludmilla Tchérina, Léonide Massine, Antonio El Bailarin. DCP. 109 min.
“For decades almost impossible to see in its uncut English version, this restoration of Powell’s film stars Anthony Steel and dancer Ludmilla Tchérina as a couple honeymooning in Spain. The travelogue sections offer diverting vistas, but the film truly comes alive in its dance sequences, capped by ‘The Lovers of Teruel,’ scored by Mikis Theodorakis and wonderfully choreographed by Léonide Massine” (BFI).
