This David Lean (director) and Noël Coward (writer) wondrous romance is brought back to life with this new 4K remaster to celebrate its 80th anniversary.
Returning home from a shopping trip to a nearby town, bored suburban housewife Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson) is thrown by chance into an acquaintance with virtuous doctor Alec Harvey (Trevor Howard). 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. This film is sheer perfection - the gold standard of tragic romances whose influence can still be seen to this day.
