==Biography==
Born in London, he was the son of H. H. Asquith, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during the First World War, and Margot Asquith who was responsible for 'Puffin' as his family nickname.〔(Anthony Asquith biography ) at BFI Screenonline〕 He was educated at Winchester College and Balliol College, Oxford.
The film industry was viewed as disreputable when Asquith was young, and according to the actor Jonathan Cecil, a family friend, Asquith entered his profession in order to escape his background.〔Geoffrey Macnab ("The Asquith version", ) ''The Guardian'', 6 February 2003〕 At the end of the 1920s he began his career with the direction of four silent films the last of which, ''A Cottage on Dartmoor'' established his reputation with its meticulous and often emotionally moving frame composition.〔 ''Pygmalion'' (1938) was based on the George Bernard Shaw play featuring Leslie Howard and Wendy Hiller. He was a longtime friend and colleague of Terence Rattigan (they collaborated on ten films) and producer Anatole de Grunwald. His later films included Rattigan's ''The Winslow Boy'' (1948) and ''The Browning Version'' (1951), and Oscar Wilde's ''The Importance of Being Earnest'' (1952).
Asquith, an alcoholic,〔 was a charming, gentle man who never married. Asquith died from lymphoma at the age of 65.
