Noel Cowards Brief Encounter at The Wallis

Noel Coward's Brief Encounter is remembered as one of the most haunting love stories ever told. The 1945 British film, directed by the great David Lean, centered on a housewife who discovers passion with a stranger outside of her marriage. The film was based on Coward's 1936 one-act play Still Life and memorably featured a soundtrack by Sergei Rachmaninoff.
