Director Robert Hamer was one of the most prolific and accomplished directors to rise through the ranks of Ealing Studios. He was famous for both comedies – in particular Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) and School for Scoundrels (1960) – and crime films, especially The Long Memory (1953) and The Scapegoat (1959). His greatest crime thriller, however, was undeniably his pitch-black 1947 drama It Always Rains on Sunday.

David Lean was one of Britain’s most successful directors. Few managed to match his effective mixing of artful visuals, emotional depth and accessible drama, building a highly respected career littered with masterpieces such as The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), Lawrence of Arabia (1962) and Doctor Zhivago (1965).
