Comment
Celia Johnson has a chance encounter with Trevor Howard at a railway station and then embark on affair with each other, but Celia Johnson struggles with love for her husband and her lover. This is a classic British film of post war middle class manners and is an excellently produced and acted drama in the best of British understatement.
