Lean’s next three directorial outings, including Brief Encounter were all based on Coward plays. Lean was a protégé of Noel Coward’s and got his start as a director while co-directing with him the great wartime drama In Which We Serve. Last week, when we were talking about David Lean’s Brief Encounter, I neglected to mention one theory about that movie that you often hear mentioned these days. Before the screening, I spoke as follows: The fifth film in the series was An Affair to Remember (1957), by Leo McCarey, shown on July 15th. (go to for details or to register to attend). This summer, on eight successive Tuesday evenings, I am presenting a series called Isn’t It Romantic? Romance at the Movies, 1934-1989 at the Ethics and Public Policy Center in Washington.
