Mr Neame was certainly involved in some truly classic films-- the Lean Dickens ouvre, etc. "Tunes of Glory" is a definite masterpiece with definitive performances from Guiness and Mills-- both topping their Oscar-winning perfs in "Kwai" and "Ryan's Daughter" respectively. And both of those films were directed by Lean. Amazing. Joe B

One of the few remaining people who spanned the decades from the end of the silent era, and worked with virtually all of the greats of the British film industry and one or two Hollywood ones too. Saw him do a talk about 10 years ago when I suppose he must have been getting on for 90. Quite remarkable now when I think of it, seemed at least 20 years younger with an amazing memory. Coincidentally one of the most prominent posters from the London Underground discovery that Patrick told us about a few days ago was for The Horse's Mouth, one of his most acclaimed films as director.
