A woman meets a man whose love she rejected years ago.
Mary Justin and Steven Stratton, The Passionate Friends, were in love when they were young, but they eventually separated, and Mary married another man. Years later, Mary (Ann Todd) meets Steven Stratton (Trevor Howard) again, and they have one last fling together in the Alps.—David Wark <[email protected]>
In postwar London, Mary Justin (Ann Todd) runs into university lecturer Professor Steve Stratton (Trevor Howard), the true love of her life from when they were young. She is now married to a Treasury financier, having opted for a safe, secure, and affectionate relationship, but the meeting rekindles the past for a while. Mary and Steve part again, but a further brief encounter on vacation in Switzerland brings matters to a head.—Jeremy Perkins {J-26}
