Adrian Brunel
Adrian Brunel
( 4 September 1892 – 18 February 1958) was an English film director and screenwriter.
Brunel's directorial career started in the silent era, and reached its peak in the latter half of the 1920s.
His surviving work from the 1920s, both full- length feature films and shorts, is highly regarded by silent film historians for its distinctive innovation, sophistication and wit.
With the arrival of talkies, Brunel's career ground to a halt and he was absent from the screen for several years before returning in the mid-1930s with a flurry of quota quickie productions, a majority of which are now classed as lost.
Brunel's last credit as director was in a 1940 wartime propaganda short film, although he worked for a few years more as a" fixer- up" for films directed or produced by friends in the industry.
After decades of neglect, Brunel's work has latterly been rediscovered and has undergone a critical re-evaluation.
His" lost" films are eagerly sought, and the British Film Institute includes two(" The Crooked Billet"( 1929) and" Badger's Green"( 1934)) on its" 75 Most Wanted" list of missing British feature films.

While Parents Sleep
While Parents
Sleep is a 1935 British comedy film directed by Adrian Brunel and starring Jean Gillie, Enid Stamp Taylor and Romilly Lunge.
The film is a screen adaptation of a 1932 play of the same name by Anthony Kimmins, which had been a popular success on the West End stage in the West End of London.
Unlike many of Brunel's 1930s quota quickie films," While Parents Sleep" has survived and is regarded as an example of his ability to produce a worthwhile film under the most straitened of financial conditions.
The" Time Out Film Guide" notes:" With a couple of tatty sets and a bunch of unknown actors, he produces a witty, sharply- paced, economical essay on class and manners in inter-war Britain."
It was produced by Transatlantic Film Corporation and British& Dominions Film Corporation.
