The Passionate Friends (1949)


Passionate Friends were in love when young, but separated, and she married an older man and then they meet again.

Meticulously made but cooly told Ménage à trois.

Halliwell**: "A simple and obvious dramatic situation is tricked out with flashbacks and the inimitable high style of its director to make a satisfying entertainment."

Maltin**1/2: "Predictable love triangle among the upper classes, enhanced by strong cast and Lean's craftmanship."
