Yet again, we're weeping to a film about two lonely people having an affair. It's the film that Guardian called the Number 1 Romantic Film Of All Time, and has been recommended to us by the brilliant author and screenwriter Rae Earl.
Brief Encounter is a 1945 British classic, written by Noel Coward, that tells the story of a brief affair between housewife Laura Jessen and Doctor Alec Harvey, who meet at a train station.
This is an illuminating discussion on Brits and crying, and class. Don't miss this chat, even if you've not seen the movie. You'll want to after listening to this.
