'A rule of mine is this', said William Goldman in 1983, 'there are
always three hot directors and one of them is always David Lean.'
One of the best known and most admired of British film makers,
David Lean had a directorial career that spanned five decades and
encompassed everything from the intimate black-and-white romance of
Brief Encounter (1945) to the spectacular Technicolor epic of
Lawrence of Arabia (1962). This book offers comprehensive coverage
of every feature film directed by Lean, yielding new insights on
the established classics of his career as well as its lesser-known
treasures. Its analysis prioritises questions of gender and
emphasises the often-overlooked but highly significant recurrence
of female-centred narratives throughout Lean's career. Drawing
extensively on archival historical materials while also presenting
nuanced close readings of individual films, David Lean offers a
fascinating and original account of the work of a remarkable
British film maker. -- .
