The Browning Version

1951, Movie, 1h 30min

Michael Redgrave gives the performance of his career in Anthony Asquith’s adaptation of Terence Rattigan’s unforgettable play. Redgrave portrays Andrew Crocker-Harris, an embittered, middle-aged schoolmaster who begins to feel that his life has been a failure. Diminished by poor health, a crumbling marriage, and the derision of his pupils, the once brilliant scholar is compelled to reexamine his life when a young student offers an unexpected gesture of kindness. A heartbreaking story of remorse and atonement, THE BROWNING VERSION is a classic of British realism and the winner of best actor and best screenplay honors at the 1951 Cannes Film Festival.

Blew me away. Both the script and Redgrave's performance are sublime.
