Jack Lee(1913-2002)

Elder brother of Laurie Lee, the author of "Cider With Rosie". He had an enduring rivalry with Laurie, which eventually ended in a disagreement over a Henry Moore drawing which Laurie had given to Jack for a cash advance. When Jack later left his wife Nora for Isabel Kidman, Nora sold the drawing at Sotheby's for a relatively small amount, she not knowing of the arrangement.

I remember seeing newspaper article referring to me as "the veteran British director". I thought, am I? I realized new talent had taken over and it was unlikely I would make another film. Although I wasn't happy about it, it was something I had to accept.
