About the Film

David Lean, one of cinemas greatest directors is often remembered for his epics `The Bridge On The River Kwai’, `Lawrence of Arabia’, ‘Dr. Zhivago’, ‘Ryan’s Daughter’ and ‘A Passage to India’.  But perhaps his finest hour was in his early British period when he made this shattering love story about two ordinary people who meet by chance on a train station and fall in love. The only problem - they are both married. The film has one of the great female performances in film history by Celia Johnson as an ordinary woman trying to keep it all together on the outside while inside she's crumbling.
