* WhatMightHaveBeen: In the late 1930s, he was assigned to direct an adaptation of Creator/HenryDeVereStacpoole's ''Literature/TheBlueLagoon'' as a coproduction between Gainsborough Pictures and Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox with the intention of telling the story in AnachronicOrder, a storytelling technique that was not fully realized until the UsefulNotes/FrenchNewWave. Creator/MichaelRedgrave and Creator/MargaretLockwood were to play the cousins as young adults, with Creator/RichardGreene and Creator/LindaDarnell playing the cousins as adolescents, and Creator/ShirleyTemple and an unknown boy actor playing the cousins as children; Creator/WillFyffe was to play Paddy Button. Gainsborough and Fox were to film the novel in the epic the way ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'' was made in Hollywood. Having this being made, it could have been a GenreTurningPoint for filmmaking. Then came UsefulNotes/WorldWarTwo, and the project was shelved until 1944 when Creator/SidneyGilliatAndFrankLaunder took over the rights, and [[Film/TheBlueLagoon the finished film]], [[ExecutiveMeddling that had its plot radically changed before filming]] due to UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode, only came out in 1949.
