"My distinguishing talent", David Lean once observed, " is an ability to put people under the microscope, pehaps to go one or two layers farther down than other directors." This book attempts to do the same with the director's films. Coyne focuses on the films themselves, uncovering their themes, meanings and relation to other popular films and to Lean's life and times, as well as their place in world and cinema history.
