Plot Synopsis

A British classic of such famous status that it barely needs an introduction. Directed by auteur David Lean and adapted by Noel Coward from his own stage play, this is a poignant and beautifully crafted love story.

Laura Jesson accidentally meets Dr Alex Harvey at a railway station. As their acquaintance grows, so does their attraction to each other, despite both being married. On the brink of an affair and desperately in love, the two must make a choice that may part them forever.
