The Browning Version

1951 • Director: Anthony Asquith
Javelin Films
Starring Michael Redgrave, Jean Kent


Michael Redgrave is masterful as a retiring classics professor bound up in his fears and the wreckage of his own distant and severe behavior toward his students. He's tortured by the promiscuities and hatred of his younger wife played with an intelligent coldness by Jean Kent. Psychologically powerful. Rating: A–
