| David Lean's visually stunning direction and a tremendous performance by Alec Guinness make this one of the most memorable and stirring of all anti-war films. But later critics have been right to point out that the balance between the two plot-lines is all wrong: Lean allows Guinness (pictured) to take over the show from co-star William Holden - or maybe Holden wasn't strong enough to carry the part. Jack Hildyard's cinematography and Malcolm Arnold's score rightly won Oscars. It won a BAFTA Award as Best British Film. |
