Filmmaker Philip Leacock, the brother of cinéma vérité pioneer Richard Leacock, made his own name as Britain's premier director of child actors, in such beloved films as The Kidnappers (1953), The Spanish Gardener (1956), Innocent Sinners (1958), Hand in Hand (1961), and Reach for Glory (1962), among others. In this documentary, a biographical showcase of the filmmaker's five-decade career (and the first in any medium to cover him in-depth), Leacock is finally given an opportunity to step out from under his arguably more famous brother's shadow and shine as his own unique, extraordinary cinematic artist.—Public Shore Films
