He's one of Britain's most distinguished film directors. His credits include Brief Encounter, Great Expectations, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, Ryan's Daughter and, most recently, A Passage to India. His films have accumulated countless awards and nominations. 'I like telling stories: it may be out of fashion at the moment in some circles, but it has been with us since we lived in caves.' Indeed David Puttnam called him 'the greatest storyteller on film'. Lean is renowned both for his attention to detail and the epic scale of his films. 'I like working for big screen and big cinemas, not tiny art houses.' Barry Norman interviews Sir David Lean about a life of film-making. It includes extracts from his films, and archive footage of him at work. Written by Radio Times See less
