2 stars out of 4
The Bottom Line:A romantic movie whose romance is so understated it's almost not even there (even the movie's stars didn't get why their characters *mild spoiler* don't have sex), Brief Encounter may appeal to minimalists but it sure would be a lot more interesting if something actually happened;...

Memorable film but expensive DVD
With all the detailed and erudite reviews of this famous film, let me merely make a few comments on this expensive Criterion package. Since it was released in 2000, there have been many DVDs released of many classics at a much lower price. Many of them offer much more than Criterion do here....

A classic, ladies and gentlemen!
Although Brief Encounter went for some years being disparaged by smartass comics, the film stands the test of time by virtue of the sensitive performances, Noel Coward's nearly impeccable writing, Robert Krasker's magnificent photography and David Lean's smooth direction, long before he became...

Language: English (YES) Italian (NO)
For "Brief Encounter - Criterion Collection" (1946)"Brief Encounter - Criterion Collection" is a gorgeous restoration of an exceptional and enduring work of art. But the Amazon product detail description of "Language: English, Italian" is incorrect. Italian audio is not an option.

...The unsuspecting lives of Laura & Dr. Harvey; this video titillates the viewer by a metaphorical likening of love's passions to the steaming over, crushing power which once influenced the coal burning industrial society. Period viewers might have remembered the political power of railroad...

My favorite movie!
Brief Encounter is the most romantic, sensuous movie ever made. There is so much "electricity" and passion - with virtually no physical contact between the two lovers.

Classic romance
A fantastic film, with brillant acting that is subtle and realistic, and although the dialogue seems a little dated at first, after the first few minutes you forget all about this and are totally emersed in what is understandably a classic film. It's not often that I am so emotional after a film...

Great film and restoration
We studied this film in a class I took at Simmons College titled 'the art of film.' I loved this movie when I saw it and finally bought it. It's still wonderful! It's such a well written and directed movie that it was destined to be considered a classic.

Brief Encounter and Chinatown
Just to set the record striaght with the current review Amazon has posted on this film at the moment; the railway scene in Brief Encounter did not inspire Robert Towne's "flaw in the iris" scene in Chinatown. It so happens that the girl Towne was dating at the time (and now his wife) had a flaw...
