EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Adrian Brunel: A Quiet Force Behind the Camera - Assisting Leslie Howard on the Set of 'The First of The Few' (1942)". Adrian Brunel (1892-1958), an English film director and screenwriter, is seen here in an intriguing moment on the set of 'The First of The Few,' a British war film produced during the 1940s. Brunel, who began his career during the silent movie era, is known for his collaborations with his close friend, Leslie Howard, who starred in this film as the lead actor. In this photograph, Brunel is seen in deep conversation with Gilbert Adams, the production manager, while smoking a cigarette and sipping tea from a cup and saucer. Brunel's role in 'The First of The Few' extended beyond that of a mere director. He served as an assistant and consultant to Leslie Howard, who also co-produced the film. Brunel's expertise and experience proved invaluable to the production, as he had a deep understanding of the technical aspects of filmmaking, having started his career as a cameraman. The image captures a rare moment of respite for Brunel amidst the chaos of filming. The set, with its makeshift props and equipment, adds to the authenticity of the scene. Brunel's attire, consisting of a jacket and trousers, reflects the era's fashion trends. 'The First of The Few' was a significant film in Brunel's career, as it marked his transition from a silent film era director to a successful filmmaker in the talkies. His collaboration with Leslie Howard continued beyond this film, with Brunel directing Howard in several other productions, including 'Pimpernel Smith' and 'A Matter of Life and Death.' This photograph, taken from The Peter Keating Aviation Photograph Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of filmmaking during the 1940s and the unique relationship between Adrian Brunel and Leslie Howard.
