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 Heaven), Black Narcissus (1947), The Red Shoes (1948), and The Tales of Hoffmann (1951). His later controversial 1960 film Peeping Tom, while today considered a classic, 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.
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.

A British war film, the fourth collaboration between the writer-director-producer team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, and the first film they made under the banner of The Archers. Although considered a wartime propaganda film, and made under the authority of the Ministry of Information as part of a series of film productions specifically aimed at morale in the United Kingdom, the story and production values elevated it from the usual jingoistic fare. Today, One of Our Aircraft is Missing is considered one of the best of British films of the era. A reversal of the plot of Powell and Pressburger's previous film, 49th Parallel (1941), One of Our Aircraft is Missing has the British trying to escape with the help of various local people. In the 49th Parallel, the Germans stranded in...

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...
