| Directed by DAVlD LEAN and written by TERENCE RATTIGAN, THE SOUND BARRIER is about the men who challenged the speed of sound, told from the viewpoint of central character, Sir John RidgefieId (RALPH RICHARDSON). The oil tycoon and aircraft constructor is determined to manufacture a supersonic jet that wilI 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-pilot husband (NlGEL PATRICK). Shocked at the death of her husband and her father’s disregard of human life in his single-minded determination to achieve his goaI, Susan waIks out on him. Unperturbed, Ridgefield approaches another piIot with the challenge of piIoting his test craft. The film marked a departure from the domestic or literary concerns which had characterized the director David Lean’s choice of subject matter to date. Its heroics pre-empted his later films Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) and Lawrence of Arabia (1962).
