'Based on H. G. Wells’s story...this is one of David Lean’s most passionate love stories, elevated by Guy Green’s lyrical location cinematography...Mary Justin (Ann Todd) is married to her jealous husband, Howard (Claude Rains), but finds herself besotted with old flame Steven Stratton (Trevor Howard)....The film embraces a female perspective, allowing the viewer to hear Mary’s interior monologue as she navigates the passion she wants and stability she needs.'
