In the 1940s, the wit of playwright Noel Coward (DESIGN FOR LIVING) and the craft of filmmaker David Lean (LAWRENCE OF ARABIA) melded harmoniously in one of cinemas 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 Cowards artistic legacy and introduced Leans visionary talents to the world.
