The famous scene from one of the best-loved British films ever is etched on the memories of the millions who have seen it. ‘Happy?’ asks Trevor Howard’s Dr Alec, of his married lover. ‘No, not re-al-ly,’ replies Celia Johnson’s guilt-ridden Laura, with her cut-glass vowels. ‘I know exactly what you’re going to say. That it isn’t worth it,’ says Alec, who is himself married. ‘That the furtiveness and lying outweigh the happiness that we might have together...’ Brief Encounter, filmed during the last months of the war, is a tale of forbidden love and doing the right thing in an era of British stiff upper lips and high moral standards, and it is 70 years old.

What two souls would not fall in love listening to Rachmaninoff. :)
