Happy 111th Birthday to David Lean

edge

Today is the 111th birthday of the man who inspired me—and so many outstanding directors—to make movies.

I celebrated the occasion with a private screening of two of his early masterpieces, Great Expectations and a film that was sadly neglected until its rediscovery in the David Lean centenary celebrations, The Passionate Friends.
