You were our patron saint, yet still they blame us for only praying to be famous
Late last night, I discovered this photograph:
It's David Lean in 1943, on the set of This Happy Breed. I found the image unattributed on a site devoted to his movies; I thought it was a film still. I had never seen a picture of him before. He could have been one of his own leads. I wouldn't wish him out of his directing career—for all I know, he was a block in front of the camera—but that's a character actor's face if ever I've seen one. He looks like a very ascetic faun.

Michael Powell said his Colpeper had the face of a medieval ascetic. Yes.
