| Directed by DAVID LEAN and written by TERENCE RATTIGAN, THE SOUND BARRlER is about the men who challenged the speed of sound, toId from the viewpoint of central character, Sir John Ridgefield (RALPH RICHARDSON). The oil tycoon and aircraft constructor is determined to manufacture a supersonic jet that wiII travel faster than the speed of sound. RidgefieId’s desire to reach this goaI has already Ied to the death of his test pilot son (DENHOLM ELLlOTT), and his daughter Susan’s (ANN TODD) fighter-piIot husband (NIGEL PATRICK). Shocked at the death of her husband and her father’s disregard of human life in his single-minded determination to achieve his goal, Susan walks out on him. Unperturbed, RidgefieId approaches another pilot with the chaIIenge of piloting his test craft. The film marked a departure from the domestic or Iiterary concerns which had characterized the director David Lean’s choice of subject matter to date. lts heroics pre-empted his later films Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962).
