Brief Encounter PG

David Lean, UK, 1945, 86m.

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). Their casual friendship soon develops during their weekly visits into something more emotionally fulfilling than either expected, and they must wrestle with the potential havoc their deepening relationship would have on their lives and the lives of those they love.


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

Cast:
Celia Johnson, Laura Jesson, Trevor Howard Dr Alec Harvey Stanley Holloway Stanley Holloway Albert Godby
