For 10 points, name this director of Brief Encounter, The Bridge on the River Kwai and Lawrence of Arabia.
After being taken on as a teaboy at Gaumont Studios, this man soon found himself in the cutting room editing 49th Parallel and One of Our Aircraft is Missing. He failed to complete a two-part film version of Mutiny on the Bounty and died before shooting on Nostromo could begin, perhaps because he lacked the actor he called his "good luck charm". That man did not assist him with a film about an (**) Irish woman who defies her neighbours by falling in love with an English soldier, but Alec Guinness did star as Herbert Pocket and as (*) Japanese prisoner-of-war Colonel Nicholson in films by this director. The masterpiece of this director of Ryan's Daughter begins with Peter O'Toole crashing a motorcycle in a country lane.
