(1944, David Lean) Returned WWI vet Robert Newton and his family move into their first unshared house, and then — after youthful radicalism, a tragic auto accident, the General Strike, a family scandal, and the coming of a grandchild — move on as a new war looms. The surface complacency of Coward’s story is jarred by the tightly wound, neurotic performance of Celia Johnson as the wife. DCP. Approx. 110 mins.
