Faber Paperbacks

"Sir David Lean, CBE (25 March 1908 - 16 April 1991) was an English film director, producer, screenwriter and editor, best remembered for big-screen epics The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), Lawrence of Arabia (1962), Doctor Zhivago (1965), and A Passage to India (1984); for bringing Charles Dickens' novels to the silver screen with films such as Great Expectations (1946) and Oliver Twist (1948); and for the renowned romantic drama Brief Encounter (1945). Acclaimed by directors including Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick, Lean was voted 9th greatest film director of all time in the British Film Institute Sight & Sound "Directors' Top Directors" poll 2002. Nominated seven times for the Academy Award for Best Director, for which he won twice for The Bridge on the River Kwai, and Lawrence of Arabia. Lean has four films in the top eleven of the British Film Institute's Top 100 British Films." [from Wikipedia] Kevin Brownlow met repeatedly with Lean to put together his "autobiography" which turned into a biography of the legendary director. The book has dozens of full-page photos from his films and other smaller photos scattered throughout this 800+ page book.
