Ryan’s Daughter

Directed by David Lean

Following their great success with Lawrence of Arabia and Dr Zhivago writer Robert Bolt and director David Lean were reunited for another epic tale with Ryan’s Daughter. Here, Bolt once again turned his imagination to an expansive tale creating a script that told the story of the romantic entanglements of the inhabitants of a small Irish village across the years 1917 and 1918 and set against a backdrop of war and political turmoil.
