Beautiful. I cry each time I watch that final scene. It is heart rending. One if the special features of the characters is the fact that as flawed as they may be, each of them has goodness in their hearts be it the busybody gossip or Celia's husband.
This was really interesting. I stumbled on this movie back in the 1980s when it happened to just be on TV randomly in my area. That’s in the state of Oregon of all places. I couldn’t find anything else to watch so I thought what the heck… I didn’t expect too much because movies of that era can be kind of hit and miss… But I was was gobsmacked. I’ve seen the movie several times since then and bought it on DVD. It’s really rich and interesting and a little window on what England looked like at that time in history. I’ve also thoroughly enjoyed Celia Johnson’s performance in, “this happy breed”. I also stumbled on that movie just randomly broadcast in my area. I’ve seen it several times since and just love it. But back to brief encounter… Celia Johnson was really remarkable. Trevor Howard was superb also. All the supporting cast… I just really enjoy the movie and I’m always so happy when she finally chooses to be true to her husband, and he is so gallant. A man definitely worth staying true to. Understanding, not vindictive, not suspicious, kind, and truly loved her.
This is one of the best films ever.. On this subject..., makes you think and hopefully come to your senses.. Because no amount of happiness can come out of others misery...
This must be one of the most romantic films ever made. A perfect cast of Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard with direction by the legendary David Lean supplemented by the score of Rachmaninoff. Makes me cry every time.....
What is it about this movie that makes it so intriguing and captivating ? Everything! Yes, Rachmaninoff piano concerto number 2 is the perfect song for this movie. Thank you for this documentary.
I'm just finding out how great were the movies from 1940s. Great actors, director. No wonder it is so well told. A good director makes a total difference. Watching from Brazil. Thank for sharing it!
I always thought the husband knew all about it when he said "thank you for coming back to me".Bascially saying thanks for staying with me and not going off with trevor howard.That is my favourite line in the movie.
Absolutely wonderful! Nothing like it since that time, and the music …. It couldn’t have been anything other than the Rachmaninov, so poignant, so sad, so meaningful. First saw this film 50 years ago and it remains my forever favourite. No film ever touched me the same until The Bridges of Madison County with Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. I cry every time.
LIKE THE PRODUCER SAID, ITS A COUPLE WHO ' NEVER HAD THE TIME' TO DEVELOP FURTHER... IN OTHER WORDS, SHOULD SAME COUPLE HAVE WORKED TOGETHER AND SAW EACH OTHER REGULARLY, IT COULD WELL OF TURNED INTO A TRUE LOVE AFFAIR THAT MAY HAVE LED TO DIVORCE, OR AT LEAST THE VERY DEEPEST LOVE AFFAIR FOR A LONG TIME.. BUT AS THEY DIDNT MEET REGULARLY ENOUGH, THEY COULD STOP IT BEFORE IT BEGAN...
I was in the UK recently and went to the Tea Room at Carnford Station for afternoon tea where the movie was shot. Watched the movie again last night and couldn’t get over the cringe factor. He is really creepy, asking a woman he doesn’t know for a date, and she seems completely vacuous. I enjoyed the afternoon tea more than the movie. On another note, visited Portmeiron where The Prisoner was filmed. Really enjoyed seeing apartment of Number 6, today a gift shop.
If you have the chance to visit Carnforth railway station then do. Everything is just as it was in the film. I’ve sat in the refreshment room and had a sausage bap highly recommend. I wish I could post pics on here it’s truly amazing.
I feel sadness for people who don’t see and realize how wonderful these pictures were…..back when they didn’t pollute the mind, but were captivating and worth spending the time. When morals mattered. I simply refuse to watch the garbage put out these days. I was born in 1963, but my favorite movies are from late 30’s (some early 30’s - especially Barbary Stanwyk and Joan Crawford) through early 50’s. On both sides of the pond they were FANTASTIC.
How pretentious. And shockingly unpleasant. Just in case you weren't aware, you really don't sound like a very nice person at all. It's ironic, in a way.
Interesting one kf the guests speaking about rhe film insinuated the film was about warning Britons not to lose their morals. I heartily disagree and that person has got ahead of themselves and even whi the writer was. The film doesn't warn or command morality... It conveys emotions and a couple's circumstances. Circumstances that many people could have related to. They are all trapped in society's norms and values.... For better or worse. The film doesnt suggest an audience member should or shouldn't do something..... But evokes emotions through story telling. The moral struggle is with the characters on the screen, exploded with poise, sadness and passion. A wonderful film.
What a wonderful actress she was!

The greatest film ever made and this is a great documentary. Why so few views?
Not a wildly known channel! :)

“Please let me look, I happen to be a doctor” - one the all time great pick up lines.

Inspired 'falling in love' with Streep and Redford?
You mean Robert DeNiro
Yes, it is known that this movie inspired "Falling in Love". I had enjoyed the newer movie many times before I saw Brief Encounter.
It is perfect the way it is.
Is there a fan club for this movie ?
Perhaps there should be! :)
SHE FELT SUICIDAL...SHE MUST OF LOVED THE MAN VERY DEEPLY. HER HUSBAND WAS NOT VERY EMOTIONAL SHE HAD SAID. THEREIN LAY THE PROBLEM..
I'd like to see a remake with Sandra Bullock and a young Tom Cruise. Can't be done obviously but . . . . . .
