Originally entitled "Still Life"
The basic story is of a brief encounter between two people at a train station in post-war Britain. Each were married to someone else, and committed to different lives. They fall in love; but it is a hopeless situation. How will they resolve this? Will they resolve this? What would you do in the situation?

The movie is enhanced by reading the Screen play. You will pick up details that were just implied in the movie. Also the background introduction by Sheridan Morley gives you information on how the short play that was part of a series became a classic movie. The book contains stills of the movie. You'll find the screen play just as emotional as the movie however you will have to supply your own copy of Rachmaninoff's Concerto no. 2 in C minor.
