The Browning Version (1951)

£0.00


Country: GB
Technical: bw 90m
Director: Anthony Asquith
Cast: Michael Redgrave, Jean Kent, Nigel Patrick, Brian Smith

Synopsis:

A public school Latin master confronts his declining health and his possible failure as a teacher and husband, but one pupil at least seems to have some sympathy for him.

Review:

Terence Rattigan's play about an introverted man who fails to communicate his very real passion is here given a classic treatment, anchored around Redgrave's brave incarnation of the hard to like Crocker-Harris, which has to comprehend his derision at the hands of the boys at the same time as his ability to touch a chord in the young Taplow. It is a great performance.
