BRIEF ENCOUNTER

3:30

Sunday, May 15

(1945, David Lean) Suburban housewife Celia Johnson, on her weekly trip to town, meets equally married doctor Trevor Howard, and a tender, doomed love affair begins. Both contracted and expanded from Coward's one-acter, this is the most romantic of films, unforgettably underscored by Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2. 35mm Approx. 85 mins.
