The Passionate Friends (1949), directed by David Lean Phantom Thread (2017), directed by Paul Thomas Anderson

“The Passionate Friends feels a particularly key reference, dealing as it does with explosive secrets and emotional duplicity between three figures. More obviously still, it also has a scene set at a raucous New Year’s Eve party at the infamous Chelsea Arts Club Ball, as well as showing its characters holidaying in Switzerland – both also found in Phantom Thread. ‘A straight lift!’ laughs Anderson. ‘No. Whether it’s a wholesale steal from The Passionate Friends or not, I don’t know. Most of those kind of details came through the historical research.’” -Paul Thomas Anderson, Sight and Sound
