[edit] Sexuality
I seem to recall hearing that he was homosexual. His interest in filming plays by Oscar Wilde and Terrence Rattigan would support that (but of course don't prove it). JackofOz 02:16, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] First Successful Film
I would take issue with the suggestion that his first 'successful' film was Pygmalion: judged by the criterion of critical acclaim, this was arguably Shooting Stars (1927). In the context of Asquith's career this film is often overlooked because, for contractual reasons, the on-screen director credit is attributed to the studio's technical supervisor, A.V. Bramble (reference: Geoff Brown, Monthly Film Bulletin, January 1976). LDGE 21:25, 16 June 2006 (BST)
