David Lean Directs Noel Coward: The Criterion Collection
In the 1940s, the wit of playwright Noël Coward (Design For Living) and the
craft of filmmaker David Lean (Lawrence Of Arabia) melded harmoniously in one
of cinema's greatest writer-director collaborations. With the wartime military drama
sensation In Which We Serve, Coward and Lean (along with producing partners
Ronald Neame and Anthony Havelock-Allan) embarked on a series of
literate, socially engaged, and enormously entertaining pictures that ranged from
domestic epic (This Happy Breed) to whimsical comedy (Blithe Spirit) to poignant
romance (Brief Encounter). These films created a lasting testament to Coward's
artistic legacy and introduced Lean's visionary talents to the world.
