The Years Between (1946 Compton Bennett)

In origin a Daphne du Maurier play, adapted for the screen by Sydney and Muriel Box. A man thought dead returns from war and finds his wife has become an MP (in his old district) and she's about to remarry. How the husband reacts to everything having changed is the underlying theme of this, which must have been absolutely relevant to any returning spouses at the time.

Valerie Hobson, Michael Redgrave (eventually) - both good - Flora Robson, James McKechnie, Felix Aylmer, Edward Rigby, Dulcie Gray, Esma Cannon, Katie Johnson.

Music by Benjamin Frankel, DP Reginald Wyer. Has an interesting credit for 'Director of Sound' George Burgess.
