Celia Johnson, Trevor Howard ("what exciting lives we lead!"), Stanley Holloway (who's in four of my Top 100), Joyce Carey (In Which we Serve, Blithe Spirit, The Way to the Stars), Cyril Raymond ("No dear, I like it"), Valentine Dyall (the disappointed friend).

Photographed by Robert Krasker.
The fade to remembrances may have come from Citizen Kane? (Expert darkening of background.)
That station bell is such an important element in the film.
Wonderfully clever and ahead of its time (ending at beginning from different point of view).
26/2/12: A perfect film, which of course gave Wilder The Apartment.
Screenplay, actress, director all nominated.
16/10/11.
24/10/10. Ronnie Neame himself cries at the ending, though suggests that the husband doesn't know?
And the featurette.
It was Coward who insisted on Rachmaninov.
That's Denham village.
14/2/09. Q's Valentine's Day suggestion.
When Johnson contemplates suicide, there's a wonderful camera tilt that makes its way into the next two shots.
Loved Beryl and her date running past in background.
But twist is husband seems to have known all along.
