As another reviewer mentioned, I think simple romances like In the Mood for Love and the Before Trilogy have to thank David Lean's first great film for paving the way. Both Laura and Dr. Harvey are so ordinary, but that makes their mutual and explosive infatuation completely relatable. The final 10 minutes contains devastation, line after line.

Likens infidelity to criminality, and presents this illicit romance with the tone of a crime thriller. It’s captivating, though the wall-to-wall narration gets tiring.

A great study on how two people can do something underhanded in the most honorable way possible. Like his later epics, Lean finds a way to make it all look exceptional--especially with the acting. The film holds up today, in part due to future imitators like The Apartment (obviously), Lost in Translation, and Carol. My one minor complaint is how catty & rude the couple is to everyone they encounter. Y'all are having an affair! While you're in that glass house, try not to heave so many bricks!

'Simple and complex' is how many describe Brief Encounter (1945), that's how I'll do it too, and I'll add 'gentle and heavy' with emotion. Such sincere piece of conflicted emotions. Not typically the type of movie I'd fall in love with, but it's impressions leaves a mark that's impossible to escape.

As I go through my list of "best" movies, I'm a bit surprised at how many are about infidelity. Here we have a perfectly ordinary housewife who suddenly meets a stranger and starts to fall in love with him. There are a lot of nuances in the film (as a proper British film should have), but I was slightly disappointed we didn't hear more about the old lady in the refreshment stand. It's a well-made movie -- the cast is excellent -- but I just didn't fall in love with it.

Pretty by-the-numbers romance but it hit all the right spots for me. Elevated by great moments of filmmaking, particularly in the second half - the lone Dutch angle at the climax is really well-placed. Rach 2 is such a perfect score for this, too.

A film entirely about mid-century Britain's obsession with morality and propriety, and the now stereotypical sexual repression that was a result (and also as an analogy for Noel Coward's own closeted homosexuality.) In many ways, it's a film that only could've been made at the exact point it was, as WWII led to many concerns of infidelity, both at home and abroad, and yet, it remains a fairly universal tale of forbidden love, that still works today, sensual, brooding, and bittersweet.

It wasn't the acting, the directing or the story not really, it was all about the dialogue. The acting is solid Trevor Howard, Celia Johnson, and Cyril Raymond all gave multilayered performances. The direction and score were superb and they complimented each other wonderfully. The story is one often told though not usually as delicately as it was here. The dialogue and the film's pacing swept me up and kept me engaged the entire time... [Full Review]
