About this title

Synopsis

This is the biography of the film director, Carol Reed. Born the illegitimate son of Sir Henry Beerbohm Tree, by the 1930s Reed was established as one of Britain's best young directors. After the war, Reed's intimate collaboration with Graham Greene blossomed in the film "The Third Man", which became a popular and critically acclaimed classic. Reed's personal life was no less extraordinary: he was Daphne du Maurier's first sweetheart, and married two of British cinema's most beautiful stars, Diana Wynyard and Penelope Dudley Ward. "The Man Between" explores every aspect of Reed's life and presents a portait, of one of Britain's greatest film directors.
