IN WHICH WE SERVE
£260.00
Original 10 inch x 8 inch Portrait of NOEL COWARD in the 1942 Noël Coward & David Lean Wartime Drama IN WHICH WE SERVE.
In the midst of World War II, the renowned playwright Noël Coward engaged a young film editor named David Lean to help him realize his vision for an action drama about a group of Royal Navy sailors fighting the Germans in the Mediterranean. Coward and Lean ended up codirecting the large-scale project—an impressive undertaking, especially considering that neither of them had directed for the big screen before. Cutting between a major naval battle and flashbacks to the men’s lives before they left home, In Which We Serve was a major breakthrough for both filmmakers and a sensitive and stirring piece of propaganda.
The portrait is in very good condition with a brief credit list tacked to the reverse.
