Thirty-five years ago, Norman Stone won a Bafta for Shadowlands, a heart-wrenching drama about the life and love of CS Lewis, starring Joss Ackland and Claire Bloom. He also directed two dramatised documentaries on the Oxford scholar, an intellectual giant and one of the most influential writers of the 20th-century.
Now Stone has returned to Lewis with a new drama called The Most Reluctant Convert. Set before the 1950 publication of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the first of The Chronicles of Narnia series, the film focuses on the turmoil of Lewis’s emotional and intellectual journey from atheism to Christianity.
