The Small Back Room is a 1949 film by the British producer-writer-director team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger starring David Farrar and Kathleen Byron and featuring Jack Hawkins and Cyril Cusack. It was based on the 1943 novel of the same name by Nigel Balchin.

Production

The Small Back Room was to have been a solo directorial effort for Michael Powell after it was announced that Powell and Pressburger were separating after A Matter of Life and Death (1946). The pair did not separate and The Small Back Room marked the reuniting of Powell and Pressburger with producer Alexander Korda after a profitable but contentious time at the Rank Organisation that culminated with The Red Shoes (1948).

In his autobiography, A Life in Movies, Michael Powell acknowledged the influence of German expressionist films such as Nosferatu (1922) in leading him towards making films such as The Red Shoes, Tales of Hoffmann (1951) and The Small Back Room.
