BRIEF ENCOUNTER (FULL SCREEN)

Details

• Release Year: 1945

• Plot: From Noël Coward's play 'Still Life', legendary filmmaker David Lean deftly explores the thrill, pain, and tenderness of an illicit romance in the dour, gray Britain of 1945. From a chance meeting on a train platform, a middle-aged married doctor (Trevor Howard) and a suburban housewife (Celia Johnson) enter into a quietly passionate, ultimately doomed love affair, set to a swirling Rachmaninoff score.
