David lean kevin brownlow5/25/2023 ![]() ![]() The narrative here, based largely on interviews with those who knew Lean, and including long excerpts from Lean's correspondence, centers on extensive anecdotal accounts of the making of Lean's films. Coming from a stifling middle-class family who frowned on movies, Lean worked his way up through the lowest ranks of British cinema to become a top editor, then a director. In turn, this volume, begun as an autobiography told to Brownlow, has been wrought by its author, a noted film historian (The Parade's Gone By.) and documentarian, into an epic account of an epic life. Best known as the director of such epic films as Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge on the River Kwai and Doctor Zhivago, British filmmaker David Lean (1908-1991) enjoyed a long and distinguished career. ![]()
