I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING! | dir. Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger

"Laird of all he surveys" by James Henry Dowd (Punch, 5 December 1945)

Lovely little caricature I just stumbled upon of Roger Livesey and Wendy Hiller in "I Know Where I'm Going!"

Beth, Webster's Raven daemon, perches on Web's shoulder and provides grammar and spelling corrections quietly to him. They're not very talkative when they're with each other but have a very deep bond and practically know what the other is thinking.

Before Joan (Webster's sister) died in 1944, she liked to perch on Harley (her deer daemon)'s antlers.

It was no longer possible to speak of a mist. Great clouds of fog rolled up to engulf Joan as she picked her way down the rough road to the pier. Soon she could only see a few yards in front of her, so that she had no means of telling how much further she had to go. Suddenly a man loomed up directly in her path. He gave the impression of having been looking for her.

A lieutenant in the R.N.V.R., he was in naval uniform, over which he wore a dark blue mackintosh and gloves, but there was something about him that said he was part of this district and not merely a visitor. A kitbag was flung over his shoulder, and his manner was one that pleased instantly. About thirty years of age, he had frank, kindly eyes that smiled in a friendly way at Joan.

“Bad luck,” he said. “No crossing to-day.” He jerked his head towards the pier which she could dimly see now. There was also the outline of a small boat, moored against the pier.

I think we all know more than enough about me, so let's try this...

I have always known exactly what I want out of life

All I wanted for Christmas when I was five was a pair of (real) silk stockings

My favourite drink is Gin and Dubonnet

I only know the wrong way to skin a rabbit

It is my aim in life to marry well

Money is more important to me than romance

People are always telling me that I am the most proper young lady they've ever met

I can dance a jig with the best of them

At heart though I'd rather swim in the sea than in the swimming pool

And I really want to learn how to fish
