This film was proposed by our member Aris Theodoridis, who writes: 'It’s the favourite film of my friend FC and he has always wanted to see it on a big screen!'
Returning home from a shopping trip to a nearby town, bored suburban housewife Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson) is thrown by happenstance into an acquaintance with virtuous doctor Alec Harvey (Trevor Howard).

* Please note, the screening on Wednesday 6 December is our Free Members' Screening, and the screening on Wednesday 13 December, is a regular screening.
