The painful romance of ‘Brief Encounter’
A classic.
David Lean
The movie that sent David Lean into Hollywood exile: “It had such an awful effect on me”
Lean suffered a hell of a crisis of confidence
The director Spike Lee called a master: “We were looking at the great epics”
He inspired Lee’s greatest work.
The one director Michael Caine called better than David Lean: “It’s the writing, you know”
A bold claim from the screen legend.
David Lean, Orson Welles, and Alfred Hitchcock’s favourite Burt Reynolds movie: “Shocking, really”
According to Burt Reynolds, anyway.
