I was working in Winchester whilst this movie was being made and Burton was staying at the hotel where I was working. I was on room service and he was constantly ordering drinks and refills for the ice bucket. He and the camera crew were all good tippers
Two actors of gigantic dimension. The story has gained much from their sense of drama acting. Very good movie of rare quality. Thanks, The World of Burton
At 31 minutes they walk past three people repairing props for the show. I’m the one on the left. Having seen Sophia Loren so close up I have been in love with her ever since.
@@evelynmangahas5144 Burton is best remembered as the husband of legendary beauty Elizabeth Taylor. If he hadn't been with her, I don't think he'd have been as famous. But I could be wrong...
That is awesome. What a very wonderful time to experience films! Thank you for that information. I'm going to go back to that scene once the end approaches.
He never heard of prosciutto. A delicious meat. She is stunningly beautiful. He is still handsome. They are both married. Yet, they fell in love. It was not meant to be. A sad, yet charming story, one that I haven't watched in a long time. Thank you to the one for posting this.
i'm loving this version. saw the original and love it too-saw it twice. both wonderful. whoever here said that Sophia Loren is a bad actress is jealous-she's a wonderful actress and always has been. So was Richard Burton-RIP
Can some body tell about Loren she is not the best actress 20 century????Of cause it’ can be a joke or very stupid person! S.Loren -an inimitable highly talented actress !
@@MTknitter22She didn't enjoy this role? Oh, well then that proves how good an actor she is because I thought she played this well. She was so natural. It was Burton I found a bit stiff
I’ve always been a huge fan of David Lean’s Brief Encounter. When this one came out I was kind of excited because I’m absolutely over the moon fan of Sophia Loren. The Film film did not disappoint. It had a different feel but it was really good. To me, speaking as a woman, I think Sophia Loren is one of the most absolutely beautiful women that has ever lived. She’s just amazing, even in old age!
I love this movie...Sophia Loren, as usual, never disappoints...She's, to me, the most beautiful, breathtaking and brilliant actress, of her era...She owns every scene, of every movie, she has ever been in...Long live the Queen of the silver screen!
@@guymorris6596 raquel ? Not in terms of talent. Performancewise , She never approached La Loren's talent in" la cocciara" or "la giornata particolare" ...
I noticed that Carlo Ponti produced and directed this movie. He was Sophia Loren’s They were married in 1966 and remained married until his death in 2007. 41 years. Quite a long marriage. It’s encouraging for me to realize that there’re are still people who remain married to the same person one of them dies. 😊😊😊😊
Sophia looked at her exotic best when she was in her 40s, as she was in this movie. She's now approaching 90, but still looks elegant and distinguished. Just for comparison, my grandmother is now in her 90s and she still remember the legendary Sophia as one of the great actress of the past 60 years. I am still in my late 20s, but have watch most of her most popular movies for the past 10 years.
At 50 mins when they’re driving along and they stop at the accident, I’m in the group of horse riders by the side of the road. I was only 11 in 1974, it was filmed in the New Forest which was where I kept my pony, that’s how I got involved as the film company came to the stables where I kept her and wanted some riders. It took all day to film, there was 5 of us and I got paid £60 which was a lot of money to me then.
I just saw the original Brief Encounter for the 10th time at least only it was in color. This version is very enjoyable & both Burton & Loren are terrific in it; however, I don't feel the chemistry or the intensity between them like in the original. In fact, Loren's over thinking of it is very annoying. She doesn't sound tortured at all, just realizing she is not doing the right thing. Thank you for uploading & letting me watch it.
Amore..... Beautiful actor: Mr.(Sir) Richard Burton and very compelling beautiful multitalented lady, that me and my mother both adore: Ms. Sophia Loren legends, them both. Indeed, they do not make them like that...., any more. My love for Shakespeare came mostly from Mr. Burton and of course Sir John Geiuld and Sir Lawrence Olivier but, mostly Mr. Burton. Thank you for this wonderful upload. Good evening.
Wonderful film, haven't seen it for years,Burton and Loren for very good friends,he had spent a few months at her villa as a friend recovering from the breakdown of his marriage with Elizabeth Taylor,you can see they liked one another,it wouldn't surprise me if they had a affair,The movie was well acted and ,with both actors appearing vulnerable for a change,nice to see the 1970 s old train station and trains of the period,This was one of first films ever released on video back in the seventies when tapes were just coming out,so found a Audiance through tape and TV screenings later on, overall a great relaxed film,the like that never get made today,
I loved it. I will watch it again and again-it is very touching. Many people go through life married to people that they never should have even dated. This is a prime example of how things end. He walked away because he loved her. She stayed because she loved her husband. But, she loved him too.
You may lose in the game of love, and it ends up going nowhere, but on the other hand, the consolation prize is that that person is always on your mind 24-7-365 which can be tortuous and painful.
I have watched this story few times , i simply love it easy and relaxing fantastic cast the voice of Richard Burton is so smooth , and soothing Sofia as well , she sounds always real not acting, . the surrounding autumn colours in the places so soft and lovely all so good and of cause. the story ! Interesting, it ended with very prudent way, and not in selfish way, for the sake of sacred family, although sad for their love to be ended, thank you for playing , I always share what i love!!!
I am a huge fan of the original. I know this version has had some negative reviews. I watched this one and really enjoyed it. And I think Sophia Loren is magnificent. It’s not just her beauty. She has so much star quality and is a joy to watch. She’s a world-class actress in every way.
U can watch long kiss good night starring geena Davis of telma and Louis fame and samuel L Jackson must watch action movie. Old movie got released in probably 1996 . Definitely u will love the movie. Narrow margin starring gene hack men ultimate suspense movie. He got ocsar for best actor for French Connection movie. He acted in. Primal fear starring Richard Gere and Edward Norton is also good thriller.this movie is based on spilt personality.usual suspects ultimate thriller starring Kevin Spacey is also Good Suspense movie. Double Jeopardy MOVIE e Ashley judd and Tommy Lee Jones IS OSM Thriller MOVIE
I haven't seen the earlier version but I really loved this. The magnetic presence of Richard Burton matched so well by the beautiful Sophia. The tension of their relationship comes out well. Sad they don't make movies like this anymore.
The original directed by David Lean is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time. It is quintessentially English, shot in black and white and beautifully understated, set against the hauntingly sad score of Rachmaninov’s 2nd piano concerto.
Classic movie with great actors..really enjoyed watching..directed well..a very interesting story line..the intensity of love between two strangers who meet up at a railway station is very well characterized..such a.dramatic movie. .
It was very enjoyable though we all know the ending. For me the movie is memorable for the fabulous style and fashion worn by Sofia Loren. All her outfits were beautiful and elegant.
All three characters were brilliant. Amazing actors, simple but touching story. Jack Hedley was a master performer and played a compelling role even if he seemed to be in the background. With a few words, Graham Jesson, the husband said a lot. He was the typical British stiff upper lip. Five-star movie played by five-star performers.
+fannycraddock99 and Gilda Marlowe + I also like better the version with Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson, I think It got deeper into the soul, but you cannot deny that Burton and Loren give great performances.
I have watched a few remakes of films, some of which should have been left alone and this one is one of them, Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard's version really got inside me, this doesn't
I prefer David Lean's version because a) being B&W it provides a more poignant mood, and b) because of Rachmaninoff's piano concerto. Also, the actors Celia J and Trevor H are rather ordinary-looking people which makes them perfect for the story. Sophia L is far too attractive and beautiful to be convincing in the role of a bored suburban housewife.
@vesnahill444 You make a valid point...if this had been real life, everybody within 10 yards of Loren would have been staring at this woman who was simply too beautiful to be believed. Everything would have come to a complete halt until she was out of sight.
Yes, and Jack Hedley not really plain enough to be the boring husband. Richard Burton is a great actor, but Nicol Williamson was better at conveying frustrated sexual intensity.
cat Chaser You obviously have wonderful taste in film. I too adore Lady Sophia and her sophisticated way of bringing class to the screen. I love the way the perfect film can give you an escape... 📺
The original with Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard proves how important music is. Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto adds so much emotional appeal and poignancy.
As a huge fan of the original film, I approached this with trepidation, but I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I thought it added some interesting and provocative touches to the original story: the guilt Mrs. Jesson felt over the suicide attempt of her client, Alec's asking her to marry him, meeting Alec's wife and experiencing first-hand his loveless marriage, and spending some more time with Mr. Jesson and their children. Thanks for posting!
the issue that lies in these tragic situations, of a lover you did not look for, soulmates or kindred spirits or what have you. it was by chance, and therefore you’ll always feel a sense of magic surrounding them. if she left her family for him she would have felt tremendous guilt for abandoning them, but her staying leaves her with an incurable emptiness and she will always think “what if i left with him, what might my life be”. and unfortunately she’ll probably never be able to live her life again without that thought being there in the quiet moments of her life.
Reminds me of the poem by Carl Sandburg called, "Explanations of Love": There is a place where love begins and a place where love ends. There is a touch of two hands that foils all dictionaries. There is a look of eyes fierce as a big Bethlehem open hearth furnace or a little green-fire acetylene torch. There are single careless bywords portentous as a big bend in the Mississippi River. Hands, eyes, bywords-out of these love makes battlegrounds and workshops. There is a pair of shoes love wears and the coming is a mystery. There is a warning love sends and the cost of it is never written till long afterward. There are explanations of love in all languages and not one found wiser than this: There is a place where love begins and a place where love ends-and love asks nothing.
hollywood greats loren and burton are incomparable. wala ng katulad nila ngayon. a good movie to remember good times in the early 70's. those were the days when stars are really stars. salamat sa movie na ito.
Richard is a top draw actor!!! Best of all time for me, he obviously excelled in his successful films, but even in the bad ones he still put in class performances that would make plenty of people still want to watch a "boring" movie again and again. He and Sophia were a great partnership in this film.
The little expression Sophia gives at the 17:29 mark, just after Richard says; “What an exciting life you do lead”, was amazing. That one little nuance spoke volumes about the character’s character and whimsical nature, as well as Sophia’s acting ability.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.....................
Wow Jane Lee there's a HEALTHY DOSE of poetry in your very SOUL I can certainly discern about you in your critical analysis of this remake of the "Brief Encounter" movie.
It is a strong and unforgiving picture of forbidden possibilities. Cruel, sad, and very realistic. Perfect actors in a play on an intimate moment of human imperfection. In it's density, almost unbearable. Great cinema.
@@margaretlavender9647Why so? The original as marvellous but of its time, this was a more modern version of life, at that time. In fact, of any time, regarding people who have a conscious, and of not hurting those they love. Sometimes, things don’t turn out the way we want, and sacrifices have to be made, and sometimes we have to go for true love, and life hurts and can destroy but this is a very interesting example of that difference
So, so s l o w . . . . I'm only watching for Burton's magnetic presence. Sophia Loren gives a subtle, multifaceted performance. I had forgotten how ironic yet tender the ending is.
Nice "cultural crossover piece". I didn't care for the original so I enjoyed this version. Sophia Loren is amazing - as always - and Burton is beyond reproach. Moral of this story: If you have a wife as beautiful and as sensual as Loren, make sure she works from home.
I love this movie, but the chemistry that you feel in the older movie, it is not here. Burton is better than Loren, but neither delivers the passion that should be palpable, which is odd, in particular for Burton. Jack Hedley is just plain perfect, as most stage actors are, above all the Brits. I still enjoyed it very much, because it captures that transition era that was the 70s, but most importantly is that love, true love, is a very strong bond and feeling that has nothing to do with social traditions. I often wonder if most people have ever truly loved their partner.
I know exactly how she must have felt when she was on that last train home. I have also experienced a situation like this once. So much in love (with each other) and it couldn't be and ended abruptly, so that there wasn't even time to say goodbye. Suddenly someone turned up in front of whom we could no longer talk to each other. I went to the bus, feeling numb. My whole body ached, I was downright physically nauseous from this farewell forced to be without saying goodbye. I felt bruised and physically wounded. Then leaden tiredness began to settle over me, I couldn't say anything anymore, I thought I couldn't even make the few steps home from the bus. But of course you can. Your legs know how to walk, even if your soul feels bruised. I felt sick and so helpless for the remaining night. Also the days after were very hard. Love is a mighty thing. And it's a brutal thing, if circumstances do not allow to live it.
Have you got over the experience you described or perhaps just learnt to live with it? Perhaps the love never goes away...? Being human can be so very hard. My mum - who is 91 - says of the 1945 film, times may have changed enormously but our emotions do't change. Bon Chance.
@@barkchip1872 Yes, I got over it. It was so bad then, because we were torn apart at the height of my infatuation. my body burned with passion and was completely crazy about him. I remember how numb I felt when we were torn apart. But, he wasn't the love of my life, it was just pure passion, from which i thought, it was real love. I met the real love of my life much later. 😊 But I will never forget, how I felt that day, and the impact, it had on me then, because it was a real physical experience, to be separated that way. It was real pain.
Enjoyed this brought back memories of the best place to live in the uk voted by the sunday times winchester. Hope to God I endup writing a comment from there soon.
Never knew this version existed. Really liked it, Burton's performance was so measured and understated. It would have been ironic if Alec's wife was reviewing a book by...John Morlar....it came across as something he'd probably have wrote.
I don’t know why movie directors and script writers, did not think of Richard Burton later in his career. But his specific voice would not fit playing a Sheriff. I remember this movie And enjoy trips down memory lane
The express train in the beginning is symbolic: it doesn't stop. Better not too close. Brief encounters with strangers and falling in love with the one we hardly know happen in our life and make us wonder especially when our marriage is getting bored and sour. Normal things and people begin to bother and become pointless but falling in love with somebody we hardly know can be like walking toward an express train that's so fast and powerful and above all fatal. I believe many married people may feel like a boy crying out in the wilderness. Anyway, this movie tells us we should value our daily peace and comfort of doing nothing wrong, yet it's true I feel so bored at times.
+Jane Lee Except that it was a through train, not an express. It was a freight train pulled by a diesel locomotive (class 33) with some open box wagons, box vans and a brake van. There's a Morris Minor estate on the train as well. It all made me feel rather nostalgic. Doesn't affect your point though.
Patrick Prosper whore is such a heavy word. Agree with your sentiment, yes finalise one relationship before commencing another, but I would caution calling someone a whore.
A wonderful story; I'd seen the original countless times and was left in tears every time. Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard were both physically thin, and this played into the frailty of love, no matter how strongly it's felt. I enjoyed this rendition, both Burton and Loren beautiful, strong actors.
There comes a point where, no matter how innocently something like this begins, their eyes meet and there is an unspoken understanding; that is when the hard choices have to be made.
When I first graduated in 1984 I got my first job in winchester which is the richest part of the uk now I'm in care lousy poor area dudley really am trying to move area hope to God it is Winchester that's what my socila worker is trying for great place. This film just brings back so many memories.
This is a remake of Noel Coward's Brief Encounter filmed by David Lean. I am a fan of both of the main actors in this film but feel the earlier version was more atmospheric and evocative of the time period. Also briefly (pun intended) referred to in an episode of Dad's Army, which despite the comic overtones also managed to be similarly atmospheric. :)
Two great great artist.Richard is fantastic and beautiful Sofia. Thanks for uploading.
I was working in Winchester whilst this movie was being made and Burton was staying at the hotel where I was working.
I was on room service and he was constantly ordering drinks and refills for the ice bucket. He and the camera crew were all good tippers
Alcohol?

It's Brockenhurst station not Winchester !

The original is so much better than this.
Burton is such an intense actor. I wish that alcoholism hadn’t created such a loss of future films.
As a huge fan of the original film, I approached this with trepidation, but I'm surprised at how much I enjoyed it. I thought it added some interesting and provocative touches to the original story: the guilt Mrs. Jesson felt over the suicide attempt of her client, Alec's asking her to marry him, meeting Alec's wife and experiencing first-hand his loveless marriage, and spending some more time with Mr. Jesson and their children. Thanks for posting!
It could be made again. I can see Angie Jolie and George Clooney doing it.
@@anairenemartinez165 yeah, Amal will surely love to see her husband doing it with Angelina.:-)
@@anairenemartinez165 no, please not Jolie. She cannot measure up to Sophia Loren, try though she does.
What a gem.
Thank you
the issue that lies in these tragic situations, of a lover you did not look for, soulmates or kindred spirits or what have you. it was by chance, and therefore you’ll always feel a sense of magic surrounding them. if she left her family for him she would have felt tremendous guilt for abandoning them, but her staying leaves her with an incurable emptiness and she will always think “what if i left with him, what might my life be”. and unfortunately she’ll probably never be able to live her life again without that thought being there in the quiet moments of her life.
It really makes me sad to see how this movie ends, because it's almost like my depressing situation which cannot be made happy in any outcome.
Thanks for the upload. Been looking for this movie
Richard Burton father was a cold Miner. I'm sure that scene where he's explaining the dust and the effects of coal mining was very moving for him.
Reminds me of the poem by Carl Sandburg called, "Explanations of Love":
There is a place where love begins and a place
where love ends.
There is a touch of two hands that foils all dictionaries.
There is a look of eyes fierce as a big Bethlehem open hearth
furnace or a little green-fire acetylene torch.
There are single careless bywords portentous as a
big bend in the Mississippi River.
Hands, eyes, bywords-out of these love makes
battlegrounds and workshops.
There is a pair of shoes love wears and the coming
is a mystery.
There is a warning love sends and the cost of it
is never written till long afterward.
There are explanations of love in all languages
and not one found wiser than this:
There is a place where love begins and a place
where love ends-and love asks nothing.
Didn't think I would like this version, but really enjoyed it - the Burton magic.
hollywood greats loren and burton are incomparable. wala ng katulad nila ngayon. a good movie to remember good times in the early 70's. those were the days when stars are really stars. salamat sa movie na ito.
I really loved this version of the classic movie!
I think it is hard to think of any husband ignoring a Wife as beautiful as well as intelligent as Sophia Loren in this movie.
This film captures the tedium of 1970's Britain beautifully; Richard Burton and Sophia Loren were like fish out of water.
Understated acting and very effective. Sofia and Richard looks like they were really involved, the body language
Richard is a top draw actor!!! Best of all time for me, he obviously excelled in his successful films, but even in the bad ones he still put in class performances that would make plenty of people still want to watch a "boring" movie again and again. He and Sophia were a great partnership in this film.
John Batziolas,
Watch Burton and E.Taylor in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Very enjoyable. He was really good there.
There only one Brief Encounter...but thanks for upload....
The little expression Sophia gives at the 17:29 mark, just after Richard says; “What an exciting life you do lead”, was amazing. That one little nuance spoke volumes about the character’s character and whimsical nature, as well as Sophia’s acting ability.
This is such a sad attempt at a remake of a masterpiece.
This show is reality of love. You can never get enough of love that is real.
I’ve always been able to appreciate Ms. Loren’s immense talent as an actress. Possibly because I’ve never really consider her all that beautiful
I am sorry sammy you would not know beauty if it hit you intheface
She's absolutely beautiful 😍.
I love movies from my childhood. Brings back memories. Much better than most of the junk produced today from “hellywood “
Holy crap - imagine rocking up the local CAB and finding Sophia Loren working there!
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.....................
Wow Jane Lee there's a HEALTHY DOSE of poetry in your very SOUL I can certainly discern about you in your critical analysis of this remake of the "Brief Encounter" movie.
It is a strong and unforgiving picture of forbidden possibilities. Cruel, sad, and very realistic. Perfect actors in a play on an intimate moment of human imperfection. In it's density, almost unbearable. Great cinema.

It was dreadful.
@@margaretlavender9647Why so? The original as marvellous but of its time, this was a more modern version of life, at that time. In fact, of any time, regarding people who have a conscious, and of not hurting those they love. Sometimes, things don’t turn out the way we want, and sacrifices have to be made, and sometimes we have to go for true love, and life hurts and can destroy but this is a very interesting example of that difference
Nothing like this ever happened to me (!)
Didn't even know that this existed. Thanks for posting.
So, so s l o w . . . . I'm only watching for Burton's magnetic presence. Sophia Loren gives a subtle, multifaceted performance. I had forgotten how ironic yet tender the ending is.
1974 is my birth year, so felt strange to watch a movie of my own age. Sophia Loren was a sign of beauty so her acting
Nice "cultural crossover piece". I didn't care for the original so I enjoyed this version. Sophia Loren is amazing - as always - and Burton is beyond reproach. Moral of this story: If you have a wife as beautiful and as sensual as Loren, make sure she works from home.
I love this movie, but the chemistry that you feel in the older movie, it is not here. Burton is better than Loren, but neither delivers the passion that should be palpable, which is odd, in particular for Burton. Jack Hedley is just plain perfect, as most stage actors are, above all the Brits. I still enjoyed it very much, because it captures that transition era that was the 70s, but most importantly is that love, true love, is a very strong bond and feeling that has nothing to do with social traditions. I often wonder if most people have ever truly loved their partner.
I know exactly how she must have felt when she was on that last train home. I have also experienced a situation like this once. So much in love (with each other) and it couldn't be and ended abruptly, so that there wasn't even time to say goodbye. Suddenly someone turned up in front of whom we could no longer talk to each other. I went to the bus, feeling numb.
My whole body ached, I was downright physically nauseous from this farewell forced to be without saying goodbye. I felt bruised and physically wounded. Then leaden tiredness began to settle over me, I couldn't say anything anymore, I thought I couldn't even make the few steps home from the bus. But of course you can. Your legs know how to walk, even if your soul feels bruised. I felt sick and so helpless for the remaining night. Also the days after were very hard. Love is a mighty thing. And it's a brutal thing, if circumstances do not allow to live it.
Have you got over the experience you described or perhaps just learnt to live with it? Perhaps the love never goes away...? Being human can be so very hard. My mum - who is 91 - says of the 1945 film, times may have changed enormously but our emotions do't change. Bon Chance.
@@barkchip1872 Yes, I got over it. It was so bad then, because we were torn apart at the height of my infatuation. my body burned with passion and was completely crazy about him. I remember how numb I felt when we were torn apart. But, he wasn't the love of my life, it was just pure passion, from which i thought, it was real love. I met the real love of my life much later. 😊
But I will never forget, how I felt that day, and the impact, it had on me then, because it was a real physical experience, to be separated that way. It was real pain.
@@Schelby.Lo1 You describe it very well.
I'm so sorry 😢
Enjoyed this brought back memories of the best place to live in the uk voted by the sunday times winchester. Hope to God I endup writing a comment from there soon.
@Mark Danks did you make it? I hope you're there and happy :) It looks like the prettiest place in the world...
Never knew this version existed. Really liked it, Burton's performance was so measured and understated. It would have been ironic if Alec's wife was reviewing a book by...John Morlar....it came across as something he'd probably have wrote.
I don’t know why movie directors and script writers, did not think of Richard Burton later in his career.
But his specific voice would not fit playing a Sheriff.
I remember this movie
And enjoy trips down memory lane
Not as good as the original but I still enjoyed watching it. Really liked seeing those 2 "greats of their time", Loren and Burton, together.
Holly wood and all the actors of today take notice of the twogreat actors
What a pleasure to watch them
I love both of them
I miss going on trains especially with my mum going to Leeds shopping on Saturday afternoons😢😭
Excellent! Thank you
been looking for this for years! Thank you!
Skip this version and rather watch the 1945 B&W version directed by David Lean featuring Trevor Howard and Celia Johnson
A wonderful classic movie. Thanks "The World of Burton"
A wonderful film!!!!Please add subtitles. The sound reception is very bad. Thank you
When superstars try to play the life of ordinary people in England, it just doesn't work.
yes,this is only celebrity
I did not want the movie to end....
Loved it. Thank you
Thanks for this amazing Movie 🙏🙏🙏.
The express train in the beginning is symbolic: it doesn't stop. Better not too close. Brief encounters with strangers and falling in love with the one we hardly know happen in our life and make us wonder especially when our marriage is getting bored and sour. Normal things and people begin to bother and become pointless but falling in love with somebody we hardly know can be like walking toward an express train that's so fast and powerful and above all fatal. I believe many married people may feel like a boy crying out in the wilderness. Anyway, this movie tells us we should value our daily peace and comfort of doing nothing wrong, yet it's true I feel so bored at times.
+Jane Lee
Except that it was a through train, not an express. It was a freight train pulled by a diesel locomotive (class 33) with some open box wagons, box vans and a brake van. There's a Morris Minor estate on the train as well. It all made me feel rather nostalgic.
Doesn't affect your point though.
+Ninoinoz Oh
+Cyrus Bahmaie I thought it was a 47 : P
Patrick Prosper whore is such a heavy word. Agree with your sentiment, yes finalise one relationship before commencing another, but I would caution calling someone a whore.
who is?
A wonderful story; I'd seen the original countless times and was left in tears every time. Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard were both physically thin, and this played into the frailty of love, no matter how strongly it's felt. I enjoyed this rendition, both Burton and Loren beautiful, strong actors.
For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these, “It might have been.” - John Greenleaf Whittier.
Liz n Burton,make a fantastic- lovable pair!Grand Post!Kudos.
This version is an insult to the original, despite the great actors.
Not at all. A tribute with different approach perhaps.
Thank You !
Wonderful film, thank you with all my heart!!

Not a bad film. Thank you for sharing.
There comes a point where, no matter how innocently something like this begins, their eyes meet and there is an unspoken understanding; that is when the hard choices have to be made.
Rubbish compared to the original version waste of time watching this film
When I first graduated in 1984 I got my first job in winchester which is the richest part of the uk now I'm in care lousy poor area dudley really am trying to move area hope to God it is Winchester that's what my socila worker is trying for great place. This film just brings back so many memories.
The good, the bad and the dudley. Winchester voted by sunday times best place to live in the uk this year.
This is a remake of Noel Coward's Brief Encounter filmed by David Lean. I am a fan of both of the main actors in this film but feel the earlier version was more atmospheric and evocative of the time period. Also briefly (pun intended) referred to in an episode of Dad's Army, which despite the comic overtones also managed to be similarly atmospheric. :)
THAT was a good film! Burton and Loren are great actors, but Johnson and Howard were nonpareil.
Maravelous Movie with Sophia Loren and Richard Burton.❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍
