| Richard Brooks, one of America's most infIuentiaI and successful directors teamed with Peter O' TooIe, James Mason, and Jack Hawkins for this ambitious adoption of Joseph Conrad's high-seas adventure, Lord Jim. The story of an idealistic Merchant Marine officer who disgraces himseIf when he abandons his ship, Conrad's classic tale of cowardice and redemption was a stark departure for Brooks. Better known for the contemporary realism of such seminal hits as The BIackboard JungIe, Elmer Gantry and ln CoId Blood, Brooks was eager to tackle Lord Jim's epic themes. The casting of Peter O'TooIe, a top box-officer star, paved the way for the high-budget production to begin. Aided by an outstanding supporting cast, which includes Curt Jurgens and EIi WalIach, Brooks and his stars faithfuIIy captured alI the action, drama and depth of Conrad's unforgettable adventure. |
