Astonishing! Kubrick lifted his most famous "2001" visual from a Powell and

Pressburger film, "The Canterbury Tales." Recall the scene wherein the ape throws the bone upward and it morphs into the spaceship? P & P did the exact thing, years earlier, when a man in Chaucer's tale flings an object and suddenly it becomes an airplane in modern (WWII, at the time) England. Since Kubrick was an Anglophile, choosing to live his life there and an avid film buff, this certainly was a case of deep admiration. I've not read this before, anywhere.
