Interesting facts
Red Ensign is a 1934 film directed by British filmmaker Michael Powell. It is an early low-budget "quota quickie".
Production
Red Ensign was Powell's 12th film in four years. "It was the first time that Michael Powell himself realised that there was something special about a Michael Powell film, something going on on the screen, or behind the screen, which you couldn't put your finger on, something intriguing, aloof, but in the long run memorable."
