Edge of the Kingdom

Last night I watched Michael Powell’s 

1937 movie, THE EDGE OF THE WORLD 

a beautiful, thoughtful wonder.

Director Powell was suggested to me 

by my friend Neal Huff who plays 

Jed the seaplane pilot in Wes Anderson’s 

latest film MOONRISE KINGDOM. 

Michael Powell appears in 

THE EDGE OF THE WORLD, 

piloting the sailboat to the island  

I can see how Jed 

is the perfect tribute to Powell, 

(not only sharing the mustache) 

but also carrying people to 

this magical setting. I’ll be 

watching more of Powell’s films 

and will soon report.
