Plots(1)
Noël Coward’s sensitive portrayal of what happens when two happily married strangers, played by Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard, meet and their acquaintance deepens into affection and love. It is the story of two people, thrown together by a chance meeting, helpless in the face of their emotions but redeemed by their moral courage. Over the years few films have equalled the compassion and realism of Brief Encounter. (Beyond Home Entertainment)
