Page "David Niven" Paragraph 31

He resumed his career in 1946, now only in starring roles.

A Matter of Life and Death ( 1946 ), The Bishop's Wife ( 1947 ), and Enchantment ( 1948 ) are all highly regarded.

In 1950 he starred in The Elusive Pimpernel, which was made in Britain and which was to be distributed by Samuel Goldwyn.

Goldwyn pulled out, and the film did not appear in the U. S. for three years.

Niven had a long and complex relationship with Goldwyn, who gave him his first start.

But the dispute over The Elusive Pimpernel and Niven's demands for more money led to a long estrangement in the 1950s.
