Written by Noel Coward and directed by David Lean this classic film of forbidden love doomed to be unfulfilled, is a quintessential British war time classic. At a café on a railway station, housewife Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson) meets Dr Alec Harvey (Trevor Howard). Although they are both already married, their casual friendship soon develops during their weekly visits into something more emotionally fulfilling than either expected, and they must wrestle with the potential havoc their deepening relationship would have on their lives and the lives of those they love. With the soaring music of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No 2, this is one of the greatest classic romances of all time.
