Any film I've made, I've only really begun to understand in the cutting room. That's when the story shows itself to you, like a wreck coming out of the sea.

Roger Michell (born 5 June 1956) is an English theatre television and film director. This is a little in-joke as it was to be Michell's next film for the same company Working Title Films. The play later debuted in London's West End and featured Robert Powell as Philip Marlowe.
