The Deep Blue Sea is a 1955 British drama film directed by Anatole Litvak, starring Vivien Leigh and Kenneth More and released by Twentieth Century Fox. The picture was based on the play of the same name by Terence Rattigan. Rattigans play has also been filmed by Terence Davies with Rachel Weisz in the Vivien Leigh role of Hester and Tom Hiddleston as Freddie.
The film was a box office disappointment in the US. It was a tricky subject for American audiences, said More.
