In this print from the British Film Institute, we are transported back to 1972 and introduced to a young Mark Dightam in Michael Powell's enchanting film, "The Boy Who Turned Yellow". The image captures a moment of curiosity and wonder on Dightam's face as he embarks on an extraordinary adventure. "The Boy Who Turned Yellow" is a whimsical tale that follows John Saunders (played by Dightam), a schoolboy who mysteriously turns yellow after receiving an electric shock. As his skin takes on this peculiar hue, John discovers that he possesses newfound powers to communicate with electricity itself. With his trusty sidekick mouse named Macbeth, John sets off on an imaginative journey through London's vibrant streets in search of answers. This particular still showcases the undeniable talent and charm of young Mark Dightam. His expressive eyes convey both innocence and intrigue, inviting viewers into the magical world created by Powell. Through this photograph, we catch a glimpse of the film's nostalgic aesthetic - capturing the essence of 1970s cinema with its warm hues and vintage appeal. As we admire this snapshot from "The Boy Who Turned Yellow" it serves as a reminder of the timeless allure of classic films preserved by institutions like the British Film Institute. It invites us to revisit cherished cinematic moments while celebrating talented actors like Mark Dightam who brought these stories to life decades ago.
