The Purple Plain is a 1954 British war film, based on the 1947 novel The Purple Plain by H. E. Bates. Produced with a relatively modest budget by J.Arthur Rank Studios, the production was directed by Robert Parrish, with screen writing by novelist Eric Ambler in consultation with the author. Color photography was by Geoffrey Unsworth. The film was produced on location in Sigiriya, in what was then Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), and utilized several locations later used in Bridge on the River Kwai. The film was successful at the box office and was ultimately nominated in the category of ��Best British film�� of 1954 at the 8th British Academy Film Awards. The award was presented to the dramatic comedy Hobson�s Choice. Actor Maurice Denham was also nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performance as Blore.
