If there is a better film about adult relationships than this one, I don’t want to know it. Brief Encounter is perfect for me as it is.
If Leslie Howard had been alive I suppose he would have been given the lead opposite Celia Johnson, and been ever so wrong for the part. Trevor Howard played the role deftly, allowing the sublime and subtle Celia to carry every scene. She is utterly convincing as a conflicted, middle-aged married mother who has fallen deeply in love, possibly for the first time in her life.
Now that I’m embedding this complete copy of the film that somebody has made available, and my site is once again being indexed by Google, I suppose this video will soon disappear. So if you’ve never seen it, watch now before it disappears.
The movie is on Amazon Prime, so I will do that. Thanks.
check out “cold war” 2018 a beautiful film, and one that nicely complements “b.e.” whatever happened to my autofill.
