Originally filmed in 1945 by David Lean (and starring Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson as the star-crossed, would-be lovers), BRIEF ENCOUNTER is Noel Coward’s classic tale of a doomed romance. When unhappily married doctor Alec Harvey (Burton) removes a piece of grit from the eye of fellow train-traveller Anna Jesson (Loren), little do they suspect that this chance encounter will turn into a passionate relationship. Alec relentlessly pursues Anna, but she is tormented by guilt as the fantasy dream becomes a nightmare of deceit and she realises she is betraying both her husband and children.
