Michael Latham Powell (30 September 1905 – 19 February 1990) was a renowned English film director, celebrated for his partnership with Emeric Pressburger. They worked together under the name of "The Archers" and produced 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 Heaven), Black Narcissus (1947), The Red Shoes (1948), and The Tales of Hoffmann (1951). His controversial 1960 film Peeping Tom, however, was so vilified that his career was seriously damaged.
Powell was the second son and youngest child of Thomas William Powell, a hop farmer, and Mabel, daughter of Frederick Corbett, of Worcester, England. Powell was born in Bekesbourne, Kent, and educated at The King's School, Canterbury and then at Dulwich College. He started work at the National Provincial Bank in 1922 but quickly realised he was not cut out to be a banker.
Powell entered the film industry in 1925 through working with director Rex Ingram working at the Victorine Studios in Nice, France (the contact with Ingram was made through Powell's father, who owned a hotel in Nice). He first started out as a general studio hand, the proverbial "gofer": sweeping the floor, making coffee, fetching and carrying. Soon he progressed to other work such as stills photography, writing titles (for the silent films) and many other jobs including a few acting roles, usually as comic characters. Powell made his film début as a "comic English tourist" in The Magician (1926).

There's a saying old
Says that love is blind
Still we're often told
Seek and we shall find
So I'm gonna seek a certain girl I have in mind
Looking everywhere,haven't found her yet
She's the big affair,i cannot forget
Only girl I ever thinkof with regret...
I would like to addmy initials to her monogram
Oh.. tell me where isthe shepperd
For this lost lamb
There's a somebody i'mlonging to see
I hope that she turnsout to be
Someone who watch overme
Well, I'm a little lambwho's lost in the wood
I know I could alwaysbe good
To one who'li watchover me
Although I may not bethe man
Some girls think ofas handsome
To her heart I'll carrythe key
Oh.. won't you tellher, please,
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how I need...
Someone to watch overme...
