The Browning Version
How could he look on and say nothing ... it was his wife!
Directed by Anthony Asquith
Produced by Javelin Films, J. Arthur Rank Organisation
A restrained, introspective drama about a retiring schoolmaster confronting his professional failure, marital betrayal, and the possibility of redemption through a single act of human kindness.
Andrew Crocker-Harris has been forced from his position as the classics master at an English public school due to poor health. As he winds up his final term, he discovers not only that his wife, Millie, has been unfaithful to him with one of his fellow schoolmasters, but that the school's students and faculty have long disdained him. However, an unexpected act of kindness causes Crocker-Harris to re-evaluate his life's work.
