The Browning Version**
GB 1951. GFD. 90m. bw
A retiring schoolteacher is despised by his unfaithful wife and unpopular with his pupils, but one of them gives him consolation.
A poignant and thoughtful little play set in a lost era, uneasily expanded to feature length (especially the happy ending), with a slightly over-theatrical central performance, but enough of the power of the original still comes through compellingly.
Written by: Terence Rattigan, from his play.
Producer: Teddy Baird.
Director: Anthony Asquith.
Starring: Michael Redgrave, Jean Kent, Nigel Patrick, Ronald Howard, Brian Smith, Wilfrid Hyde-White, William Travers, Peter Jones.
Photography: Desmond Dickinson.
Art Direction: Carmen Dillon.
