Synopsis

Directed by David Lean and adapted by Noel Coward from his own stage play, this is a poignant and beautifully crafted love story.

Laura Jesson (Celia Johnson) accidentally meets a man, Dr Alex Harvey (Trevor Howard), at a railway station. As their acquaintance grows, so does their love for each other despite both being married with children.

On the brink of an affair and desperately in love, the two must make a choice that may part them forever.

BRIEF ENCOUNTER is being released as a digital presentation on new 35mm prints and was filmed in black and white.
