I love this movie and I love this ending. We believe that it is a simple opposition of “marriage of convenience” vs. romantic passion. Logically, love passion must win. But it fails. And passionate love springs up where we least expected it: in the heart of the husband.
This is a wonderful epic about the power of forgivness. What is broken can be fixed if we open our hearts. Pride, hurt, his character was hurt, broken, torn apart...and she knew it. When we fall in love we risk being vulnerable. She, a much younger woman, can't bear the thought of having hurt the man she realizes she loves deeply. A good ending, a hopeful ending, both eith eyes and finally hearts opened. His "Shall we go home!" Is the sweetest voice of forgiveness...some times we all need to hear that.
3:38 I just watched the full movie. And you don't find out until this point in it (the last 9 minutes) . . . that it's really Rains' story all along. His is the only character with a realistic arc from beginning to end. The rest (making up 90% of the movie's action and dialogue) may seem like real people . . . but they end up as only psychologically unrealistic contrasts to Rains. That contrast works exceedingly well . . . even if there's reason to doubt that it was the actual intention of the director.
Maybe. But I've seen people IRL become so involved in a fantasy that 'gets too real' and all of a sudden getting caught up in somi they want and are afraid of. That, plus an aging husband who knows he's not up to pleasing a younger wife, especially a beautiful one. We can only hope the female lead went home and counted her blessings.
All the movies I have seen of him he never kissed the woman passionately. Hmmmm, perhaps he had it written in his contract! I wish I could have kissed him back then, passionately! Indeed!
Toller Character Schauspieler Claude Rains, die Mimik und die Dialoge, einfach Klasse. Dadurch gefällt mir dieser Film richtig gut. Sehr gut gespielt. Würde diesen Film gerne in Deutsch sehen und hören.
A truly great movie. I've watched it many times.The accents, the story and dialogue are so dated and unrealistic - but it's these things that draw me to it. Romanticism and melodrama at its best!
I'd go home with Claude Rains any day of the week!
The thinking woman's hunk!!❤❤❤

Claude Rains steals the show, again, even with Todd and Howard shining so brightly-what an elegant classic!
What a man. Despite all her shenanigans, he knew her safest and best place was with him, and he welcomed her back home.
Claude Rains is brilliant.
I watch this over and over. The last scene. Subtle and real. Lean spared us the movie fireworks and created this powerful ending.
I'm not crying...
Claude, you made me believe you loved this ice woman!
I want to be Mary. What a man. Once again, thank you profusely

It's a film by the great David Lean (who worked again with Claude Rains on "Lawrence of Arabia"), Ann Todd was Lean's wife at the time.
It almost has an "Anna Karenina" ending. Anna should have been so lucky had Vronsky been as thoughtful.
I guess Claude suffered an Injury to his vocal cords once, and the result was his famous gravely voice. But you already knew that!❤
Claude what a beautiful mannn
Claude Rains was a magnificent man! Extremely attractive, and his voice was so elegant!
He was stunning.

Wonderful point and beautifully written.

Great acting
Thank you! Love CR. So consistently good.
Looks like an excellent movie.However unable to increase volume so sadly let it go, Claude Rains is superb.
All the movies I have seen of him he never kissed the woman passionately. Hmmmm, perhaps he had it written in his contract! I wish I could have kissed him back then, passionately! Indeed!
He had four wives, children and was sought after by women. A clever, brilliant and funny man. Oh, where did the men go?
@@victoriajarvis2260 He had 6 wives and 1 child. He was also a womanizer...he can have me anyday!!!
Great to see this clip from the film, but the sound is very low, i can barely hear what they are saying.

Modern Day Anna Karenina! Would love for a contemporary adaptation of that novel to end this way!
Love Ann Todd but she always seem to make a lot of sad tragic movies
It gets sadder when you realize he was cheated on by half the women he was ever involved with.
In real life or just in movies? Hmmm
How many times does David lean make the actresses jump from the platform?
