The Edge of Love
The only thing more dangerous than war... is love.
Directed by John Maybury
Produced by BBC Film, Capitol Films
A wartime romantic drama centered on a love quadrangle between a Welsh poet, his wife, his childhood sweetheart, and a dashing officer, balancing passion with the melancholy of competing desires.
When the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas and his flirtatious wife Caitlin sweep into war-torn London, the last thing they expect is to bump into Dylan's childhood sweetheart Vera. Despite her joy at seeing Dylan after so many years, Vera is swept off her feet by a dashing officer, William Killick, and finds herself torn between the open adoration of her new found beau and the wily charms of the exotic Welshman.
