Adapted from Noël Coward’s 1936 play Still Life, housewife Laura Jesson entertains the idea of having an affair with doctor Alec Harvey whom she meets at a café in a railway station. They continue to meet every Thursday in the small café, although they know that their love is impossible.

One of the greatest of cinema’s romances, suffuse with longing, this classic Noël Coward adaptation features the simmering, melancholy pair of Trevor Howard and an unforgettable, tremulous Celia Johnson. Infidelity, infatuation, despair and hope, all tangled in the possibilities of night’s darkness.
