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 Leans 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.
