One of Britain's leading film directors after the Second World War. Born in Croydon, south of London. He entered the film industry at the age of 20, and after working as a film editor, became a director in 1942. He gained fame with The Happy Race (1942) and The Merry Ghost (1945), both based on plays by Noel Coward, as well as A Brief Encounter (1945), which depicts a brief romance between a married doctor and his wife. He went on to produce a number of outstanding works that are characteristic of British cinema, including adaptations of Dickens's Great Expectations (1946) and Oliver Twist (1948). After romantically depicting the love of an American maid in Venice in "The Bridge on the River Kwai" (1955), he moved on to international blockbusters such as "The Bridge on the River Kwai" (1957), "Lawrence of Arabia" (1962), and "Doctor Zhivago" (1965), developing large-scale human dramas intertwined with spectacle and establishing himself as a global master. He won the Academy Award for Best Picture and Best Director in 1957 and 1962. His subsequent works include "Ryan's Daughter" (1970) and "Passing by River" (1984).
