David Lean and Robert Bolt

Film director David Lean (1908-91) and screen-writer Robert Bolt (1924-95) collaborated on some of the cinema's greatest successes, including Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor

Zhivago and Ryan's Daughter. This film was made in 1989 when Bolt, having recovered from a massive heart attack, was working with Lean to develop a feature based on Conrad's Nostromo. They talk frankly about their working relationship and their friendship, which survived the strains of thirty years in the film business.
